CDT BUSINESS HEADLINES

'Can you hear her now?'
People stare when Stacy McGarr pulls up to a parking space in her white Ford Taurus station wagon. What catches their eyes? Maybe the car's 13 antennas.

Embattled Halliburton unit gets bid
Since Dick Cheney became vice president, a subsidiary of his former company was chosen the exclusive contractor for overseas Army troop support and Navy construction despite being under federal investigation for fraud.

That recommendation was ignored.

City to vote on mandating 'coffee with a conscience'

In a California city where the politics and the coffee come strong and hot, a November ballot initiative requiring cafes to sell only environmentally and socially correct brews is drawing mixed reaction.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Sentiment is clear: Ethic must improve
The premise is simple: Hard-working entrepreneur wants to sell stock to help her business grow. She lines up a group of experts for her company's board, which ensures that management acts in the best interest of shareholders, and finds an investment banker.
