    Some people love Tricia. Other's don't. Some call her wacky and others call her Warrior. Whatever you think, everyone deserves their day in court!

    It's great that Tricia is finding the help she needs, even if it means bringing in a legal team from Chicago -- who won't be charging her $13,000 for three days work like her first lawyer!

    Nonetheless, there are costs involved in mounting such a defense. Tricia is accepting contributions to her legal fund at her Website, www.triciawalshsmith.com/Contributions.html. You can donate with PayPal or mail a contribution for her lawyers to put in a trust account.

    I know the plaintiff & the defendent. This ruling was very fair to Ms. Foster. She was misled, lied to and deceived from the beginning! Thank you Attorney McCaffery for helping my friend.

    Bravo. I attended the 5th district court hearings and the arguments Calabrese used were laughable. They were challenging the law on violating federal commerce and discriminating against a foreign owned company then used arguments on how humane they treat the horses. I am not an attorney but was surprised Magidan’s office didn’t object to his ramblings that had nothing to do with the case. I did all I could to contain myself! It was no surprise that the Supreme Court refused to hear their case. The Texas kill houses appealed to the Supreme court on the same premise and was not granted a hearing.

    It’s amazing that they paid no federal tax but had no problem wasting our hard earn tax dollars by wasting our court’s time and resources. If you don’t like our laws, you are free to leave!

    They’re still not giving up. Last I heard they are going to try to convince our legislature to rethink the law. And no doubt, Representative Jim Sacia will be at their side.

    Thanks for your support!

    Obviuosly there would be some connection between foreclosures and divorces. However, I would guess this has more to do with overall economic hardship than foreclosures specifically. I find it hard to believe that a foreclosure alone lead to a divorce. It seems more likely to me that a divorce following a foreclosure is a result of a series of financial troubles.

    I live in Crystal Lake and was sickened by the attack on Scott Hirschey. I did not know him and I only met Randy once at a charity event. What happened was just a tragic accident. I think there is no punishment that the courts could sentence Scott that Scott himself will be punishing himself for the rest of his life. I thought it was very unfair of people who were bashing Scott unfairly without knowing all the facts. Scott lost a good friend in Randy and that is something Scott has to live with even though it was an ACCIDENT. That is painful enough punishment. My prayers are with both the Salerno and Hirshey families as they have been dealt a horrible loss. It was rather unfair of the media to put fractions of the whole story where everybody was being quick to crucify Scott without knowing all the details. Randy being the family man he was; would not have put himself in peril if Scott was truly impaired as it was implied. I always felt that there was a combination of factors involved; whereas the media made it sound like alcohol was the ONLY factor; when that was not the case. It is unfair to lay all the blame on Scott. As I said it was a tragic accident and I think he has suffered enough!

    Thank you! This covers all the things I'm so worried about, including:
    -Non-spousal partner I wish to take care of
    -Who will make medical and financial decisions for me if I'm unable to
    -I don't want estate taxes to be a burden on my heirs

    There is so much advice for married couples but little advice available to those of us who consider ourselves married but will suffer financially if we marry in the eyes of the government.

    This is interesting because we want to get drunk drivers off the road but the flashing police car lights might cause the problem with the eyes. Please post an update when the court makes a final decision. Thanks.
