Sikes Ethics Panel Reprimands Congressman Over Stock and Florida Land Deal
The ethics committee reprimanded Congressman Sikes for failing to report 1000 Fairchild Industries shares and bank stock. It found a conflict of interest in a 1961 Florida land development bill but urged no punishment for that action. Sikes defended his conduct as serving constituents and said he filed reports once he learned of the requirements. The panel cleared him on a 1974 vote affecting Fairchild stock, noting rules limit direct personal gain and that he lost $4,173 on the stock during holding.

Maremont settlement not harming Saco plant jobs
Maremont paid 6.5 million to Arvin Industries to settle a lawsuit, a move officials say has no effect on Saco plant production. The Buxton Road facility is shifting workers on the alternator line due to schedule delays and rising orders for shock absorbers, not layoffs. The plant also makes drive shafts for military vehicles and machine gun parts while Maremont operates across the U.S. and nine foreign countries.
