Idaho isn’t known for attracting political powerhouses during presidential races. However, what it lacks in clout, it makes up for being home to one of the GOP’s wealthiest donors.
Frank VanderSloot, founder and CEO of health care products company Melaleuca based in Idaho Falls, was a critical fundraiser for former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s campaign during the 2012 election. Now he’s being courted by GOP presidential candidates eager to benefit from VanderSloot’s successful fundraising reputation.

by Tina Williams • September 12, 2015 • 0 Comments

The Wall Street Journal reports: Avon Products Inc. is negotiating to sell a stake to a private-equity firm, a sign that the cosmetics purveyor has been unable to find a buyer for the entire company.
Thursday’s news didn’t go over well with Wall Street. Investors often frown on companies selling stock at depressed prices and diluting existing owners. Shares of Avon fell 9.5% to $4.10, and are now down 56% on the year. The stock has lost roughly 90% of its value from a 2004 high and the company has a market capitalization of less than $1.8 billion.
Avon is in talks about a stake sale with a number of private-equity firms, according to people familiar with the matter. They include Cerberus Capital Management LP and Platinum Equity LLC, which specialize in distressed investing, these people said.
