I live in a rental house in Phoenix that didn’t come equipped with smoke alarms or carbon monoxide detectors. I’ve looked everywhere online and I can’t find any State of Arizona or City of Phoenix Housing Codes regarding this matter. The Tenant-Landlord Act also doesn’t cover this issue. Is it my responcibility to buy, install and maintain things like this? Every rental property that I’ve ever lived in in Arizona has had smoke alarms installed, so it was never an issue before.

I could use some help on how to get a small mortgage on a low end property in Tucson or Phoenix Arizona area. Credit is fair. No recent problems Any help on real information. Please no sassy answers.

Is there a more liberal or progressive group that the ACLU, in the view of most Republicans? Isn’t that why they are so hated by radical right-wingers? So, based on the links and captions below, is it really true that Liberals don’t care about the rights of Christians or Christian churches?

They fight for the rights of all, L. All. That’s the thing that Republicans hate so much. The "ALL" part.
You’re idea of "throwing Christians into the lake" is when the ACLU defends the rights of people that Christians don’t like or feel threatened by. But, see… they’re also defending Christians who non-Christians feel threatened by. Who doesn’t like what…doesn’t matter. It’s strictly the rights of every individual, regardless of whether others like it. And that includes the rights of Christians.
The ACLU isn’t in the "persecuting" business. They are in the business of defending civil rights. If someone feels threatened by the fact that all people have the same rights they do…then they might feel persecuted. Unjustifiably. :)

PHOENIX — As the days tick down until the Arizona immigration law takes effect, the state stands as a monument to the anger over illegal immigration that is present in so many places.

The anger has been simmering for years, and erupted into a full-blown fury with the murder of a prominent rancher on the border earlier this year. The killing became a powerful rallying cry for immigration reform and the sweeping new law set to take effect Thursday, barring any last-minute legal action.

But it does not tell the whole story about how Arizona got to this point.

Turn on the evening news in Arizona and some report reflecting the state’s battle with illegal immigration will likely flash across the screen.

A drop house crammed with illegal border-crossers smack in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. Traffic patrols and workplace raids that net the arrest of dozens of illegal immigrants, often in heavily Hispanic communities. Politicians speaking venomously about border violence and the leech of immigration costs on the state treasury.

Along the streets, Arizonans see day laborers near Wal-Mart and Home Depot parking lots, waiting for work. In some Phoenix-area neighborhoods, Spanish is so predominant both in spoken word and signage that residents complain they feel like they’re in a foreign country.

Then rancher Robert Krentz was gunned down in March while checking water lines on his property near the border. Authorities believe — but have never produced substantive proof — that an illegal immigrant, likely a scout for drug smugglers, was to blame.

Almost immediately Krentz came to symbolize what’s at stake with illegal immigration. Politicians quickly connected the dots, but everyday folks also spoke with anger and fear about the rancher’s death.

"You can’t ignore the damage and the costs to the taxpayers and the disrespect that comes with it and those who think they have a right to break our laws," says Russell Pearce, the fiery state senator who wrote Arizona’s new immigration law.

Pearce, in fact, is the godfather of anti-illegal immigration sentiment in Arizona and author of many of the tough laws.

He regularly depicts illegal immigration as an "invasion." He can tick off the names of police officers killed or wounded by criminals in the country illegally.

One of those names is that of his son, Maricopa County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Pearce, who survived a gunshot wound to the abdomen from an illegal immigrant in 2004 while serving a search warrant in a homicide case.

That might explain Pearce’s indefatigable effort against those entering the country illegally, but he says he held tough views before his son was shot. He insists that his frustration centers more broadly on the crime that immigrant smugglers bring into the country and the financial stress that illegal border-crossers put on communities.

Between 40 percent and 50 percent of all immigrant arrests each year on the U.S.-Mexico border are made in Arizona, according to the U.S. Border Patrol.

And the annual costs? About 0 million for educating illegal immigrants at K-12 schools, more than 0 million for jailing illegal immigrants convicted of state crimes and as much as million that hospitals have to eat for treating illegal border-crossers, according to figures provided by Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne, Gov. Jan Brewer’s office and the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association.

At Copper Queen Community Hospital, 4 miles north of the border in Bisbee, the emergency room sees one or two illegal immigrants every shift. Dr. Daniel Roe, the emergency-room medical director, says many come in with broken bones from jumping the 15-foot-tall border fence, others suffer from walking for days in the desert with little to no water, and others have been involved in car accidents.

"It’s very much part of our normal flow," he says. "But it demands resources. So it affects the operating budget."

Gov Brewer on Fox News talking Immigration New theories in rancher’s deathby Alex Stone/ABC News (March 30th, 2010 @ 2:34pm) Policy >> Comments:9 PHOENIX – There are new theories about the murder of a southern Arizona rancher who was found shot to death on his ATV. His dog was critically wounded by gunfire.

At this point police believe it was an illegal immigrant who killed Robert Krentz.

Dogs have tracked the shooter into Mexico, but then the trail goes cold.

Police are now working on theories that include the shooter may have been a drug cartel scout or a band of thieves terrorizing Arizona ranches.

Police admit if the shooter lives in Mexico, identify the trigger-person is almost impossible.

Governor Jan Brewer and Open-borders Sen. Johnny Come Lately McCain, in the political battle of his life, is now calling for the National Guard. Don’t read his lips. Read his border security-undermining, law enforcement-abandoning record. Senator John McCain are among a growing number of state leaders calling for more border security
see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9za4Z6hZw6g
Thank you for calling attention to the murder of the Arizona rancher. This is not an isolated problem. Families who have farmed and ranched on the US/Mexico border for over a hundred years. For many years, we farmed along side those on the other side of the border. Most people who crossed our properties were not a threat, but that has long since changed. We now find ourselves faced with a government that feels the issue is not significant, as well as our neighbors in the city who are more concerned about “immigrants rights” than our safety. While Bush’s fence project had a lot of problems, the section that crosses our property created a significant deterrent. Traffic decreased from over a hundred per day to a handful per week. The cartels don’t care how they get access to your property. If they can’t buy you out, they will kill you and your family.

I am looking for an accountant to do my taxes this year. I went to H & R Block last year and they wanted to charge me 2 to file my taxes. That is a ripoff. So I did my taxes using turbo tax last but this year I had a short sale and I really don’t know the tax ramifications of doing this short sale plus I don’t want to be audited as I am up to audit next month regarding last year’s taxes. Anyways I use Schedule C for my small business and the short sale was for my rental property so I guess that is Schedule E. Do you know anyone in Phoenix area that won’t charge a lot based on this information. How much would they charge? I need to know up front. I don’t want to be surprised. I need someone who is reliable and knows all the tax rules. Thanks

The weekly immigration protest circus outside an east Phoenix furniture store needs to come to an end.

The ultimate point behind the dueling demonstrations has been completely lost in the back-and-forth shouting and increasingly bitter political signs appearing each Saturday across the street from M.D. Pruitt’s Home Furnishings. This private business has unfairly been caught in the crossfire, and the potential for violence appears quite real after an immigrant rights protester was arrested Dec. 15 for allegedly shoving a prominent agitator from the other side of the debate.

Blame for a situation that has escalated badly falls squarely on Phoenix resident Salvador Reza and fellow activists who are campaigning for the right of day-laborers, presumed to be illegal immigrants, to loiter in and around Pruitt’s parking lot. A second group of demonstrators is showing up each Saturday only to offer a counter message of strict immigration enforcement.

We are sympathetic to Reza’s larger concern that a rising level of hate in this country is interfering with the public’s ability to rationally discuss workable solutions to our flawed system of immigration and foreign employment. But we are baffled by this strategy of targeting a family-owned furniture store because it acted to protect its private property.

Reza never has disputed that dozens of day-laborers would descend on Pruitt’s parking lot, sometimes creating traffic jams as they waited to be hired and generally discouraging potential customers from coming in. Reza launched the protests after Pruitt’s hired off-duty law enforcement officers to serve as security guards empowered to chase away anyone who didn’t have legitimate business with the store.

The immigrant activists claim they are protesting an immoral slight to Hispanic day-laborers because of their skin color or nationality. But these protesters are the ones who have injected racial bias into the Pruitt’s situation, as we expect the store owners would have reacted the same way if the day-laborers happened to be European, Asian or even Martian.

Such protests would make far more sense if they took place outside of the government offices, businesses or homes of those people with the power to actually affect the outcome of the immigration debate. A small group of immigrant rights protesters moved in this direction Thursday when they marched from Pruitt’s to Phoenix City Hall.

These protesters should continue down that path instead of disrupting the livelihood of a small business that simply wants to provide a comfortable environment for its customers to shop.

We can not guarantee that your housing authority is accepting applications at this time, but we do update our Online Packet each week with this information.

Section8programs.com also offers a privately funded grant program, the Section 8 Consolidation Program. This program awards small assistance grants for daily expenses, not housing vouchers. Grantees are selected every 48 hours. Applicants for this grant program help determine who is most in need by voting for others at the end of the application process. This process allows our applicants to see who is being granted and why. All of our grantees receive a small assistance check in the mail about four or five days after applying.

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is a government subsidized housing assistance program for a low income family or individual. The tenant will pay about 30% to 40% of their monthly income towards their rent. Section 8 will pay for (subsidize) the rest.

Landlords must have their property inspected by a division of their local PHA in order to rent to a Section 8 tenant and accept the Section 8 housing voucher. The landlord will prepare their own lease that will be no less than for one year.
