Rep. Laura Richardson made only a few payments on the Sacramento house she bought in 2007, failed to pay property taxes, defaulted on the mortgage, and lost the house to foreclosure. The Daily Breeze reports that Richardson's lender, Washington Mutual, took a loss of nearly $200,000 when it sold the house at a public auction on May 7. Further, the new owner, York, "assumed responsibility for Richardson's unpaid property tax bill of $8,950.79."

(D) congresswoman Laura Richardson of Long Beach now has a house in foreclosure according to Yahoo news. And we wonder why California is broke. /sarcasm

Sorry for the vanity post, but I had too. I read a letter to my local paper this morning and had to respond to this..hem fine American His letter. As we approach the anniversary of 9/11. I'm afraid we shall reach another 9/11 before that date. 911 of our finest young men and women will have died in Iraq, and more than 5,000 have been wounded. They might not be related to you, but they are like sons and daughters to me. No matter what yourpolitical beliefs are, they must know they have all suffered and died without just cause....

Leon County count on CSPANHere we go again, they are looking at the ballots with magnifing(sp) glasses. The good news so far is I have seen more ballots go into the "NO VOTE" box than anywhere else.
