Sonoran Alliance went with a story and soon a lawyer was calling us. The issue related to someone’s privacy or expectation there of.

Note to the world. If you do not want people to know where you live DO NOT BLOG about it on the website of the states largest newspaper! If you want to stay out of the public realm then maybe PUBLIC relations is not the career for you. One more point – If you would like to be treated with some respect then treat others that way.

A quote from the blog article linked above:

I’m squarely between two of my favorite places: Biltmore Fashion Park and Scottsdale Fashion Square.

You tell the world your name with a photo attached, your line of work, that you have just bought a house, and in what part of town and you expect privacy.

One Monday’s Horizon show Arizona Democratic Party Communications Director Emily Bittner sunk her fangs into Speaker James Weiers. It is a sad fact of the lending business that sometimes it becomes necessary to take action on unpaid obligations. Banks in Arizona have been foreclosing on families and repossessing their homes in order to recover some of the money they loaned on the property. The reality is that from placing a lien to filing for foreclosure, the ability to collect is what allows companies to loan money in the first place. If there was no process for recovering on an unpaid loan the credit markets would dry up and most working Arizona families would not be able to purchase homes. It would be much better for the state if the spokesperson for the Democrats would stick to solutions to the difficult issues facing Arizona instead of using demagoguery to describe lawful commerce.
