A Good Guy

Ok, maybe I am romanticising here...but i just read the best article on comcast.net and it is so worth sharing. Here is the link http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-national/20081008/Sheriff.Evictions/


The Cook County (Chicago) Sheriff (Thomas Dart) has basically stopped all foreclosures on rental properties in his county. Apparently his office was being asked to evict alot of people who were renting properties that were foreclosed upon. Most of these tenants didn't even know the properties were in foreclosure and they were finding themselves evicted.

Read the article..it tells it better than I do...but the point is that this Sheriff has put compassion, humanity and integrity to the forefront and epitomizes what a Sheriff should be...we need more people (especially people in power) to step up and do the right thing during these difficult financial time.

Amen! He's a new American hero - I just sent an e-mail to Cook County Sheriff dept thanking him for taking a stand. Heck, I don't even live in Illinois, and it was an inspirational story. There ARE those who have the courage to use their public office for the public good.
