Преступники обнаружили дыру в законодательстве!!!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Public Counsel filed suit on Friday against Lifetime Financial, a Los Angeles mortgage broker, on behalf of Jose Moreno, a Spanish-speaking borrower who says he ended up with an adjustable mortgage and thousands of dollars in fees he didn't expect after he signed loan documents in English.

Although California law mandates that mortgage disclosures be provided in five languages other than English, if needed, it applies only to brokers who operate under real estate licenses, according to a state Department of Real Estate spokesman.

Those five languages -- Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese and Korean -- are spoken by 83 percent of the 12 million Californians who don't speak English in their homes.

Развернулась общественная дискуссия

The most recent effort to put condoms in Illinois prisons suffered a setback Thursday when a state House committee voted 6-5 against a bill that would authorize distribution of condoms to state inmates.

Sexual contact is banned in most prison systems, and officials believe allowing condoms could undermine the rules and even lead to rape of inmates.

Yet supporters of condom laws say the reality is that homosexual behavior in prison is common, and inmates with no means of protection could contract diseases and infect others both in prison and afterward.

Социалистические изменения оказались обратимы

Because neighboring towns failed to pass smoking bans, St. Charles on Monday will repeal the ban it enacted in February, a city official said.

"We're not going to proceed with an ordinance that puts our businesses on an unequal footing with businesses in neighboring communities," said City Administrator Brian Townshend on Friday.
