QTS's CEO Chad Williams runs a culture of self-enrichment with no accountability; shareholders should withhold votes from him and the comp chair at the May 3 annual meeting.

Automatic Data Processing, Inc. ADP
Employer Services margins are 1,500-2,000 bps below potential vs. Paychex and peers

Taubman Centers, Inc. TCO
Taubman's best-in-class malls are worth ~$106/share (~70% upside), but the family's dual-class 30% voting block blocks reform — elect Litt and governance expert Elson.
