Michael Brown Laid to Rest, Uber Regulations Vetoed in Illinois, Burger King Looks Northward Due to Tax Burdens: P.M. Links

• Michael Brown was laid to rest
  today in a
  funeral service attended by thousands in St. Louis, including
  Rev. Jesse Jackson and three White House aides.
• An “active
  shooter” reported at Fort Lee, Virginia, prompting a lockdown,
  apparently shot only herself.
• Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has
  vetoed two bills to introduce onerous regulations to
  ride-sharing services in the state. He said companies like Uber and
  Lyft should be regulated on the local level, which isn’t as good as
  saying they shouldn’t be regulated at all, but it’s Illinois, so
  this is probably the best we’re going to get.
• Insert jokes about saying “Eh?” or mounties or politeness:
  
  Burger King is considering merging with Tim Hortons in Canada
  and moving its headquarters out of the United States in order to
  reduce its tax burdens.
• 
  Libya now has two governments claiming to be in charge, so that
  will probably end well.
• An Oklahoma newspaper and the American Civil Liberties Union
  are suing the state to try to get it to stop
  concealing information about its executions.
