The complaints ought to go to the city council and your city's representatives in the state legislature. There isn't much the State Attorney can do about it unless you know of some state law that the city is violating that comes under the jurisdiction of the State Attorney's office.

I will remind you that I am a Republican, and have been since I was 18. I'm certainly not a "lib". But I'm also not a MAGA supporter. I do think that if you accuse someone of a crime, especially a serious one, you ought to have some evidence to back it up. Whether the person accused is...

So you don't even know what was said and yet you know it was treasonous? If you were the prosecutor do you think your argument that "Well, I didn't present you with any evidence of what was said or any evidence, really, beyond the fact that a phone call was made, but I urge you to find him...

And which staffer was this and, importantly, what classified information did he/she pass to the Chinese? It is not illegal for senior military and administration officials to call foreign officials; indeed for some of them it is part of doing their job. What matters is what was said during the...

The judgment debtor may file the motion, but unless the reason the defendant didn't show was improper service of the summons and complaint the debtor cannot be assured that the judgment will get set aside. So if the service was good, the defendant takes a very real risk that the default judgment...

As a point of clarification, bear in mind that the NY law on recording, as with others states, is for recording audio, not photographs or video without sound. In every state there is typically no legal restrictions on recording video or taking photographs so long as they are taking the pictures...

Thanks. I read an article about it briefly and obviously didn't get some of the facts right. But I was at least on the target even if I didn't get the bull's eye shot. :D

The confusion arises because registration is no longer required (and has not been required for a very long time) to have copyright protection. So I get where zddoodah is coming from. Yes there was a verb use of the form when registration was required to get copyright protection, but it makes no...

I haven't seen it and don't know which agency's/organization's claim form is involved. If the shares are held in a MA bank or financial institution the time period is three years. See the information provided by the MA Unclaimed Property Division. If she died in MA did not have many assets...

If they do any planning, it's usually just far enough out to get to the next election. You're right that long term planning is something that most governments (and other big institutions like some large publicly traded corporations) just don't do well, if they do it at all. It's all about the...

I seem to remember that the Phoenix city council put in place a halt on issuing new building permits because of the water and power issues that it is starting to experience, but that the city couldn't revoke any of the hundreds of permits it already issued. Perhaps it was some other southwest...

That was my thought too. It's typically easier (and politically palpable) for a city to impose a fee for a distinct service than it is to raise taxes to fund it. In my city it has always been a separate fee for water in part because the city provides water for some of the suburbs. Using a city...

If you were referring to my post where I used the word state where I meant city that might indeed confuse some people and unfortunately by the time I realized that it was too late for me to make that change. For clarification, my entire post was one discussing in general what might motivate the...

Yes, that is a problem. The tax code starts with the premise that most people would want to do the carryback, so they made that easier by making the carry back the default rule. If don't want the carry back you must attach the statement making the choice to a timely filed return or an amended...

It's worth seeing a local employment law attorney. One possible argument to be made here is that the 30 day rule lapsed due to not being enforced for 30 years. And if the employees have tried to make use of their time off in the 30 days and were told no, that may be a breach of contract by the...

In pretty much every state child custody decisions are made by a judge. There is no jury in such cases. So it's the judge you have to convince. Depending on the exact effect of the move your wife might be able to argue that the move is in the child's best interest because the job is better than...

It might make a difference. You'd need to read the state constitution and the applicable state statutes to find out. It may not be arbitrary. Instead, it might have been the easiest way (or perhaps even the only way) for the state to get the money it needed. In my state most increases in city...

As you tell the tale, it sure looks like the attorney violated one or more of the rules of professional conduct. Start with the link given in the reply above this one to get started.

It is indeed too late to carry any of the losses back to earlier years at this point. But you may still get some use out of them by carrying them forward.

I don't practice law in California but from what I remember of its consumer protection laws this shop has probably violated at least one of them. A complaint to the California Department of Consumer Affairs might get you at least an acceptable outcome without having to spend any money. The page...
