DU, I'm asking for help.

15. Thank you! I appreciate it! I'll give it a look.

I think my efforts, however, are more grassroots. People tend to think that this state is going to the dogs because politicians are responsible for all the bad legislation, but I think there is something closer to home that is keeping most of us off balance. Specifically, people underestimate the puckish work that lawyers do behind the scenes. And I mean, at the grass, grassroots. If we had honest lawyers to count on, you would see our municipalities buckling under the weight of lawsuits from all the malfeasance they commit. But someone always manages to head them off before it goes to court. That someone is usually a lawyer dispensing bad legal advice to homeowners to take them off the trail. And when they do that, we lose the punch we need to keep the public focused on the real problems of this state.

If someone can finally write about it, I believe members of the public will begin to recognize the patterns.
