Ocean County Gas Station Owner Fined $17,500 for Deceptive Pump Pricing Practices

Rajinder Chandi, the owner of three gas stations in Ocean County, New Jersey, has agreed to pay a $17,500 penalty following an investigation into deceptive business practices. The investigation, conducted by the Ocean County Division of Weights & Measures and the Office of Consumer Protection, uncovered numerous violations of state Weights & Measures laws. Complaints from customers initiated the probe into the pricing practices at Chandi's stations: Delta on Route 37 in Toms River, Delta/G&R, LLC on Route 37 in Lakehurst, and Sunoco on Route 37 West in Toms River. The settlement requires Chandi to ensure that digital gas pump displays accurately reflect the price per gallon being charged to consumers. Additionally, he must use only state-licensed, certified vendors for pump repairs and comply with all state Weights & Measures and consumer protection laws.

InvestigateTV+ Examines For-Profit Schools' Recruiting Promises and Student Debt Outcomes

InvestigateTV+ Examines For-Profit Schools' Recruiting Promises and Student Debt Outcomes

InvestigateTV+, in collaboration with the Arnolt Center for Investigative Journalism at Indiana University, has conducted an analysis into the advertising claims and disclosures of over 100 for-profit schools nationwide. The investigation found instances of dubious claims regarding post-graduate employment rates. One specific example highlighted a college that touted conclusions about the professional status of hundreds of graduates, despite only 13 having actually completed an employment survey. The report suggests that many students are drawn to these institutions by advertising and promotional materials, which can lead to significant financial traps and student loan debt that escalates beyond the initial borrowed amount, as illustrated by one woman's experience with a 'fast track' to a creative career.

This decision marks the third time a federal district judge has rejected the OLC's view. The CFPB's funding, unlike most government agencies, does not come from annual congressional appropriations but rather from the Federal Reserve System's 'combined earnings.' The OLC had previously interpreted 'combined earnings' to mean the Federal Reserve's profits after deducting expenses, including interest expenses. This interpretation led to the conclusion that when the Federal Reserve operated at a loss, no funds were available for the CFPB.
