Naturally these lawyers have slimed up the process. Public officials could easily pass laws to ensure a simple and direct explanation to everyone for anything regarding property. Will they? Why not? That is the question you need to ask all of them regardless of Party. While the powers have you arguing over which political party smells worse the real power is still behind the curtain.<br /><br />Wake up!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-87887392346144159132016-09-26T12:32:24.479-04:002016-09-26T12:32:24.479-04:00Although we have a caveat emptor doctrine at any S...Although we have a caveat emptor doctrine at any Sheriff Sale, I think anyone who conducts an upset tax sale at a Sheriff's Sale should inform the public before bidding starts. I do not think there should be an affirmative obligation to list all liens in advance. That would be too costly to the Sheriff and would be time-consuming. Let the buyer do some research.

He ran on a political slate of change in the LC Sheriff's office, but this was another political lie sold to the uninformed electorate. The reason why the deputy didn't answer your question is because he {Hanna} runs his office like the dysfunctional APD administration he commanded. Sixteen of his campaign donors were huge Fed Ed supporters; that should say enough!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
