NOW is the TIME to REFORM selection of WI Supreme Court justices

NOW is the TIME to REFORM selection of WI Supreme Court justices. The situation in our WI State Supreme Court is dysfunctional and embarrassing to WE THE PEOPLE of WI! NOW is the kairos (Greek for “right”/”opportune” time) for the reform of the process used to select the justices for our WI Supreme Court. What is YOUR perspective?

I agree with the Wisconsin State Journal’s editorial today, “Supreme Court fracas unacceptable, another reason for reform.” I URGE you to read and consider this editorial. I think it is HIGH TIME for reform NOW! What is YOUR stance?

Having met CHRIS RICKERT, Wisconsin State Journal's Metro Columnist with my AP US Government & Politics Seminar for Teachers sponsored by the School of Education, UW-Madison 1-week ago today, as I reported in my blog post, “This is what democracy looks like” last Monday (June 27), I continue to follow his columns with special interest. Chris’ column today, “When it comes to workplace violence, justice shouldn’t trump the law,” deserves reading because he brings this “high court” situation down to earth – the regular “workplace” situation. I wonder what YOU think of his assertion about the RESULT of “workplace violence” and how it should apply even in our WI Supreme Court. I myself agree with Chris. What is YOUR stance?

I have been following the hard news articles published by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to gain information as to the situation in our WI Supreme Court. Today’s article adds significant information with perspective, so I encourage you to read it, “Justice Prosser was asked to get help for anger, sources say.”

Day-by-day we owe a great deal to our healthy WI newspapers – the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Wisconsin State Journal complemented by the Associated Press for delivering INFORMATION and PERSPECTIVE for WE THE PEOPLE of WI to know what is REALLY going on in our WI Supreme Court. We NEED the free PRESS!

I agree with Chris Rickert that the difference between the way the situation in our WI Supreme Court and situations in the “common workplace violence” does enkindle the notion “that there is one system of justice for the elite and one for the rest of us.” What is YOUR evaluation?

What REFORM do YOU think would be most effective to select justices to serve on our WI Supreme Court? Consider today’s Wisconsin State Journal editorial cited above. Also, the news article published by the Wisconsin State Journal April 13, 2011 for perspective, “More calls for high court reform.

Watch out for Rental Scams on Craigslist | Homes for Sale ...

Finding online homes for rent is much more difficult than looking for homes for sale . When looking for Clinton Utah Real Estate rentals, there is no MLS that has all of the homes listed in a standard data format. People looking for rentals have to visit multiple classified websites or newspapers. This just makes the rental search even more difficult .

Right now we are seeing that there are a bunch of “fake rentals” on craigslist. The thing so deceiving about these is that the scammers are using actual houses for sale, usually vacant . The scam artist are using the real estate agents description , and photos , and then post the homes as if they were actually rental homes . The scam artists are even making up fake emails that are really similar to the listing agents actual names . In one of the examples we had one a Tremonton real estate agents for sale house listing posted as a craigslist rental for $800 and the fake email account was one letter different than his actual email . Realistically , a house like this could collect rent almost double what the scam listed price was.

When potential renters contact the fake landlord , the scammers reply with a message saying they are out of town and can’t show the property , but they will let them try the house out free for the first month . All the potential renter needs to do is send in the safety deposit, and the “owner” will send them the keys .

Well, as you can speculate , what will really happen is that the fake landlords will take the money , and that is the end of the story .

If you’re looking for homes for rent online , watch out for homeowners who don’t communicate by phone , especially if the rent amount is well below market value .
