A slimy piece of legislation in Arizona is finally making it’s way to the mainstream media. We began discussing this ugly bill on June 24th. What it means is that Representative Michelle Ugenti, who was soundly rejected when she tried to introduce an HOA bill that among other things would allow convicted felons, child molesters, etc. the right to move into HOA crime free housing, sneaked her bill into law anyway!
Remember…she was voted down twice!
Also remember that the Arizona constitution mandates that every bill contain only one subject, and that one subject has to accurately depict the contents of the bill.
Silly Dilly Ugenti waited until just a few moments before Governor Jan Brewer was scheduled to sign the annual budget bill, and she slipped in a bill named ‘campaign finance’, which along with a few finance matters, also included the mandate to provide HOA housing for thugs.
Governor Brewer signed it, obviously believing that legislators who take an oath of honesty would somehow all be honest. Such gullibility. Brewer ought to be furious! Actually, Brewer should be at Ace Hardware buying a hangman’s noose.
Anyway, the inevitable lawsuit’s been filed. Ugenti’s character can now be considered ‘officially trashed’ and the matter now goes to the courts.
Really, you shouldn’t miss clicking on the first mainstream news media story linked below.
The man who warned George Zimmerman’s defense attorneys that the Florida prosecutor was illegally hiding evidence that might exonerate Zimmerman now says he’s going to sue his former boss.
The exclusive expose’ in The Drudge Report says Ben Kruidbos will sue Florida State Attorney Angela Corey under the whistleblower act. Kruidbos testified under oath that Zimmerman’s prosecutors were personally violating Zimmerman’s rights by hiding exculpatory evidence that should have been turned over to Zimmerman’s legal team. ‘Discovery’ of evidence isn’t optional. It’s mandatory. To violate such basic legal mandates is to discover what the word ‘disbarment’ means.
After Kruidbos testified on behalf of Zimmerman, he was fired by his boss, State Attorney Angela Corey.
The ramifications of the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case will be long-lasting.
I think I told you June 24 that there was a stench rising over the Arizona State Capitol. Blondie Jan Brewer is responsible for signing the budget into law. But the beguiling ‘Cute Young Thing’ (Representative Michelle Ugenti) decided to slip a few unconstitutional things into the verbiage so Blondie didn’t have time to see it. Dirt floor, finger-crushing politics, but that’s what she got away with.
Well, not much slips past Homeowners Advocate George Staropoli. He readily recognized the massive financial forces behind our sneaky ‘Cute Young Thing’ were nothing more than a money/power grab for some very narrow special interests. He also noted that the Arizona Constitution is screamingly clear. You can’t throw bills into the annual Omnibus bill without specifically naming them. It’s designed to keep dirty fingers out of the cookie jar. It’s designed to keep Arizona politics clean. And Rep. Ugenti just found a sneaky way to skirt the law. SO….
Now there’s a lawsuit asking for a declaratory judgment that the ‘Cute Young Thing’ gets her fingers slapped because her actions in sneaking SB-1454 into the budget were a blatant violation of the state Constitution.
Colorado legislators are very much like those in other states: “Pass a law to make the voters shut up and go away.”
And the new Homeowners Association laws in Colorado just aggravate the problem. All HOA officers and managers must now be state licensed. Hmmm, who provides the testing and licensing? Well, the largest organized crime syndicate in the country, of course! I don’t need to provide you with their three initials.
No more HOA mandates for Kentucky bluegrass. That’s not a bad change, although most Colorado homeowners don’t use it anyway.
The new law requires all HOAs to pay a small registration fee to the State HOA office. This one is more than laughable. Over the past three years only about half of Colorado HOAs have even bothered to register. They just mock this idiot who was appointed to the office. Oh, and there’s no penalty for not registering. Legislators are idiots, too.
The head of the new HOA office is supposed to recommend to Legislators how much power over HOAs his office should have. This is more than pathetic. I met this guy once. A man without a clue. A body in search of a brain. Mark my words, he’s married to the HOA industry and will never propose anything, aside from going outside for a smoke.
Anyone who knows anything about the Colorado HOA Ombudsman’s office just mocks it. An e-coli bacterium has more influence and power.
At least the e-coli bacterium can interrupt functions of the colon.
A young man is dead, and that certainly is a massive tragedy. But another man’s life was ruined with all the racial allegations connected with the ‘murder’ of another man, and possibly ruined by a vengeful prosecutor who went to the bar with no evidence.
My big question is, should the prosecutor have charged Zimmerman in the first place? I’ll speak to some of the reasons he should not have, but first let’s look at a case of prosecutorial misconduct that happened at Duke University. Yes, the Duke Lacrosse team.
There was zero evidence of a rape of two strippers hired by the lacrosse team. Yet Durham County prosecutor Mike Niphong continued pushing, publicly calling it a gang rape, and making other outrageous statements about the alleged guilt of the lacrosse players. The players were later exonerated, Niphong lost his job as a prosecutor, and then was stripped of his law license by the North Carolina Bar Association.
Did justice prevail?
But let’s toss in one final bit of knowledge in the Trayvon Martin case. Everyone involved in the case knows that Florida has one of the strongest ‘stand-your-ground’ laws in the country. All you have to do to pull the trigger is to “reasonably believe that you were facing death or great bodily harm.”
Zimmerman had injuries to his face and the back of his head. If he didn’t believe he was facing great bodily harm, he would have been an idiot.
The prosecutor had to prove Zimmerman did not have reason to have such fear. Yet his star witness was a perjurer and was still allowed to testify. The standard for the jury is “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Did the prosecutor think he could prove BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that Zimmerman was not afraid of bodily harm?
There are still some interesting things left to come. From the beginning, the national media and many public figures have tried to exploit every possible racial trigger. It’s impossible to predict how the public will react once the final outcome is announced.
George Zimmerman
I guarantee you, homes in The Retreat At Twin Lakes Homeowners Association are not going to be selling well.
If at all.
George Zimmerman has an incredibly good case against his Homeowners Association for not supporting him in his time of need. They were the ones who wanted a neighborhood watch. They were the ones who accepted Zimmerman’s offer to walk the streets at night. But when the time came for him to show heroism and stand up against a potential burglar, they walked out on him.
This neighborhood has already tried to walk out on Zimmerman by paying Trayvon’s attorneys a million dollars to ‘settle’ this case. But it’s not settled, not by a long shot. Now, it’s Zimmerman’s turn.
This particular Homeowners Association, The Retreat At Twin Lakes Homeowners Association, is about to bite the ‘big one’.
