...nearly twofold from the beginning of this year. Among the troubled firms on the agency's list are such household names as clothing retailer Eddie Bauer, amusement park operator Six Flags and pizza chain Sbarro.

Palm Beach County GOP chair Sid Dinerstein is happy he still has a seat to the event, he said. Since 2006, the area has seen four city and county commissioners imprisoned for corruption charges; the Foley scandal; a still unresolved Aug. 26 judicial election in which voting ballots briefly disappeared; and now the Mahoney affair.
