Evictions, Foreclosures, and Family Values

My county commissioner sent us a questionnaire soliciting input that would enable him to represent constituent views effectively. One question in particular nagged at me because it was more specific than all the others, had not appeared on any of the other dozens of political questionnaires I receive in a political season, and was not a topic du jour in […]

Trott & Trott, Matty Moroun, and GOP Congressman Mike Bishop’s legacy of cashing in on his elected position

There is no question that Republican 11th District Congressional candidate David Trott has gotten enormously wealthy at the misfortune of others. He has literally made millions upon millions of dollars from foreclosing on homes.

GOP Congressional candidate Dave Trott won’t easily shake his foreclosure record
