Stouffer's 200 Get Pink Slips From Page 1A
Stouffer's laid off 200 workers as the Center convention and entertainment complex faced foreclosure. Five Seasons Inn owners Peter Bezanson and Lor Rayne had already been ruled in default last April with Aetna holding mortgage rights for 8,025,990 plus fees and taxes. Unpaid hotel taxes and penalties now exceed 852,000. Stouffer's sought a new trial or enlarged findings after Hannah Hansell’s ruling, while employee notices won’t affect pursuing the case.
