Political Connections Controversy
The following memo from the New York Times has some great resources on the political influence of Yucaipa

YUCAIPA COMPANIES: “POSTER CHILD FOR THE ILLS OF POLITICAL DONATIONS AND BUSINESS”

This article was created by a bot from the AP article, and subsequently reflects the favorable spin/POV of that article. This should be fixed.Enviropearson (talk) 19:44, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Inner City Broadcasting
Bloomberg is naming this company as the main creditor that has filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition against Inner City media, the owner of Urban radio stations WLIB-AM and WBLS-FM in New York City. Inner City owes at least $254 million. Magic Johnson got involved with the company back in May to try to save Inner City.

It will be difficult to incorporate that into the article without it turning ugly, so I'll leave that to a brave editor — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.82.248.203 (talk) 09:56, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Current holdings
It is not clear what their current holdings are. They sold Ralphs and Food For Less. The investment history does not mention that Alpha Beta Markets and Boys Markets were merged into Ralphs, or something like that. 71.160.14.131 (talk) 20:34, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I've noted the rebranding of Alpha Beta and Boys based on what it already said on the Boys Markets article. With regards to current holdings, as a private equity company they're neither obliged nor is it in their interest to declare their holdings. All we can say is based on what is reported in reliable media sources. da nn o _ u k  02:03, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

AFA Foods/Pink Slime
The section for Aloha Airlines has an orphaned paragraph about Yucaipa holding AFA Foods, makers of “lean finely textured beef”, aka pink slime.

It has nothing to do with the asset purchase of Aloha. Epthompson (talk) 03:03, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

"Controversy" Section
The section titled "Controversy" mentions that Bill Clinton was a friend of the founder and acted as an advisor after his presidency ended, and that the Clintons received income from the company during the 2000's. It's unclear from this paragraph what controversy exists. I suggest someone describe what the controversy is, if there is one, or that we retitle the section (Maybe "Celebrity Connections", or "Famous Investors"?).
