recently i've been busy putting out fires - in one case literally.

I did two loads of laundry, and house-elves cleaned up the kitchen, and I paid my credit card, but basicly it was a nothing done day, aside from the sex drugs rock n roll. Did a good deed - returned a lost wallet.

dishes.

hung up some clothes. the strong ohio envelope finally came and i've been blogging on that for a few hours.. it's hard to unpack.

Did today: very little. Called Ohio Elections Commission. wrote to instapundit. blogged a lot. otherwise nothing. it's a familar pattern. without a daily task list to work from, i end up doing nothing. i did take out the trash.

thursday: finally did the laundry
friday: cleaned my room. this was a huge accomplishment.
sat, sun, mon: nothing.
i'm dead tired. is it eyestrain?
coffee not helping. tonight i'll drink, tomorrow i'll do nothing..

Did: fixed refridgerator seal.
Didn't: laundry

Wil is blogging from Atlantis, aka Nassau in the Bahamas. Which reminds me of something that happened over xmas - I think I couldn't run blogger from mom's mac. We were on I-95 passing the philly airport, on our way home from visiting the Philadephia Museum of Art (the one where Rocky runs up the steps.) I saw two billboards - one for a flight to Nassau, $69, one for a hotel room, $79. I just found it interesting that it was cheaper to fly to another county than to get a night's sleep. Granted, the real price of the plane ticket would be higher, which might be the case with the hotel room too. Given my austerity policies, I don't fly, and don't stay in hotels, and I have yet to make it to the Bahamas. I gave my brother a copy of A Pirate Looks at 50, which is about Jimmy Buffet flying his own plane around the carribean. (this was supposed to go in my other blog - moved.)

227 taxes problem

** draft do not send. removie before sending.**

My client Robbin Stewart owns 227 N Temple, parcel #@.
He purchased the property for $17500 and has it listed for sale at $30,000.
The property was reassessed at $56000. Stewart filed a challenge to the reassessment.
The center township assessor offered $30,000 as a compromise figure.
Stewart accepted the offer, by going to the center township assessor's office in the city county building, and signing the paper.
Upon entering the building he was subjected to an unwarranted search.
After Stewart signed the document, accepting the county's offer of $30,000,
the assessor became enraged and yelled at Stewart for 4 minutes. He then attempted to revoke the offer. It was, by then, too late. The contract had formed by Stewart's signing the document.
The assessor then called sheriffs deputies who demanded he leave the building, and escorted hin out, and told hin he could not return that day.
The city/county is in breach of the contract.
It is continuing to tax him based on an assessemnt of $56,000 instead of $30,000.

He seeks an accounting.
He has retained me to, if needed, file suit to recover the oxer-taxation attributable to the breach of contract,
to sue for violation of his rights under article 1 section 11 of the indiana constitution, for his unlawfully being expelled from the building, and
for the violations of his rights under article 1 section 11 for the unwarranted search in order to enter the building,
and, under 42 USC 1983, for violation of procedual and substantive due process.

I suggest you accept the $30,000 figure and issue a refund based on that figure.
The alternative might be costly litigation.
I would remind you that Mr Stewart has previously been successful in litigation against the county, as has the other resident of 225-227 N Temple, Joell Palmer,who was a plaintiff in Edmondson v Indianapolis, _US _ (2000).
We would prefer to settle this amicably.
Cordially

Dear Ms. Stewart,
My realtor noticed that the title to 47 S Gray still shows as being in my name.
I enclose the info. Perhaps we need to rerecord? Also the assessors office sent a tax statement, which I have misplaced. I think this is something you can handle without needing me, but if you need me to sign anything or do anything I'm happy to.

I may be in the market for a quiet title action at some point. I got the impression that's something you do. Could you give me an estimate what that would run?

Cordially, Robbin Stewart.

Mr. Bob Parker:
(look up address)

Hello. I own some properties on Bloyd and Winter Sts, in an area south of the 23rd & Keystone industrial park. I know you do or have owned some properties around there. I am looking to sell, and am highly motivated. Do you have any interest in these?

utilities: $100/mo + cable $50/mo = 1800

227 taxes 1100

can write off properties sold at tax sale?

joell, here's a rough draft of the leeter i owe you re the chris situation. I don't expect a response for several weeks because you are traveling, it's more about my keeping up on things.
you have a right of first refusal as to 225/277 n temple, so i won't sell it to anybody else without making you the same offer first.
so below i outline the offer i made to chris. i think, once you review it, that you'll find it's not what you want. but if it is, we can do it.

Offer to chris:
I will sell him the house at $30,000 at 10%, $600 down, $300/mo.
That gives him the right to live in his half, while i continue to rent to you on your half. Once he pays it off, he gets both halves. He would intend to rent to you if you were still there.
Receipts for repairs would count toward the monthly payment, but not toward the capital of $30,000.
We did not specifically discuss taxes and insurance, but traditionally those are the responsibility of the buyer - taxes run around $600, and we would split them 1/2 and 1/2. I just paid $1111.27 in taxes yesterday to get us caught up.
I don't have an amortization table handy, but you can see that with payments of $300, at 30K at 10%, he'd be a long time paying it off. 30 years? I don't know. You do the math.
Neither chris or I has any interest in interfering with your continued occupancy.
I am making you the same offer I made him, out of fairness to you, but please understand it's a worse deal for me:
if i sell to chris i have income from him and income from you.
if i sell to you on the same terms, i have income from you and an empty hole.
Based on what we know about chris, it would be a good place for him to live, but he's unlikely to stay 30 years and pay it off.
That's the general idea of what's goin on.
The offer to chris was tentative - he has to ask his wife, and he was drunk.
But it might work out.
Alternatively, I had met with my realtor right before you came over. We are working on moving my lots - sales have been really good lately. We decided to wait before listing the house until we hear from chris. But i've been planning, ever since i went to jail, to find a realtor and list it for around $30, $32K.
I'm not sure it would sell at that price, so after 6 months or a year I might have ended up taking your offer for $20k, if that still stands?
I have next to me an example of a written offer, I'll make you a copy.
I know you made me one offer that I turned down, I'll review that later to remmber why it didn't work for me.
I bought the house 9 years ago, paying $20K (17.5 +2,600 later + some repairs and water bills etc.) at an auction with the idea that i could hold it as a rental for awhile then sell it for $30K. It didn't work out quite like I planned, but more or less.
I would like to dump it now so I can have less baggage when I move. By "now" I mean within a year. But I don't feel a lot of pressure - the lot sales have been going better than ever before.

outgo: gas bill $100 (for about 3 months)
taxes: $1112
income: $270 joell.
joell wants a letter re rent to buy.
$530? $500 soemthing texas oil check.
so that's
1212
- 800
=====
412.
yesterday: $9 bicycle.
today: $3.50 drink, air.

future:
i can get the overbid for 801 e 20th, about $2500.
I have to wait till a deed is filed then fill out some forms.
so the tax sale can actually be a benefit.

The Honorable John Day,
State Representative
Woodruff Place

Dear Mr. Day,

I am your constituent. I am writing to ask you to request an attorney general opinion. It is my understanding that the AG's office does not issue such opinions
except at the request of an elected oficial.

I have attached a draft of the request.

The statute I have concerns about is IC 35-42-2
Chapter 2. Battery and Related Offenses
IC 35-42-2-1
Battery
Sec. 1. (a) A person who knowingly or intentionally touches another person in a rude, insolent, or angry manner commits battery.

My concern is that this definition is unconstitutionally vague, and includes
much conduct that is not within the traditional meaning of the crime of battery, and much conduct that is protected expression under the Indiana Bill of Rights and The First Amendment. A vague statute invites abuse, by giving unfettered discretion to police, to prosecutors, and to juries. A person can be found guilty of being black or poor or mentally ill or gay, for conduct most people engage in. This is particularly important in your district, where the incarceration rates are high, most people are too poor to afford lawyers, the public defender lacks resources to actively litigate cases, bail is unafordablely high and the pre-trial detention facilities constitute cruel and unusual punishment.

The statute, read literally or broadly, prohibits football and basketball, prohibits two angry people from settling their differences with a handshake, prohibits a wife from kissing her husband rudely or insolently, and prohibits rude conduct of the sort found constitutionally protected in Lawrence v Texas.

My situation is that I was arrested and charged with three counts of battery, in what was harmless playground fun. I own a vacant lot on my block which I allow the church to use as a playground. Because of overzealous code enforcement by Health and Hospital, I have to go there periodicly in case anyone has littered, or in case the flowers have gotten more than 12 inches high. I digress. While there, I was asked by the children to play with them, which I did. Perhaps I was unnecessarily rough - no offense was intended, but someone became offended, police were called.
The police and detective never got my side of the story, but jumped to conclusions.
I am openly bisexual in the hood, so I have a reputation as the neighborhood pervert, which led to more jumping to conclusions.
I was arrested and confined for a month in the CCA annex on Washington Street.
While there I was tortured. I was denied medicine and food, deprived of sleep, assaulted by a gang of prisoners, denied access to the law library, prevented from calling my lawyer, had a letter to my lawyer confiscated, was prevented from bringing legal materials to court including a pencil and a bible, and on and on. I am a vegetarian because of my religious commitment to nonviolence, so I was unable to eat most of the food offered. I had a broken tooth and was in extreme pain, but was denied aspirin and such. Without access to my medication, I experienced a nervous breakdown, my second. I have spent the past year defending the case - everything was dismissed eventually - and trying to heal from the nervous breakdown. I paid a ransom of $1000 to get free of the unconstitutional condictions in the jail. But I digress.

The damage done by an unconstitutional statute is not just that someone might be wrongfully convicted; it is also that someone might be wrongfully charged, or wrongfully arrested by a police officer who could then argue qualified immunity.
I am indigent; I have been disabled and unable to work for 5 years. But because I still own my house, I was denied a public defender. This wound up being a good thing, because I got a good lawyer who got the charges dropped because I insisted on going to trial rather than taking any plea agreement. An innocent person in my shoes, given the services of a public defender, would be forced to accept a plea in order to escape the unconstitutional jail conditions. This is unjust and unlawful.

I welcome your help. I thank you for the work you have done for years to fight injustice.
Sincerely,
Robbin Stewart esq.

State Representative John Day
State Capitol
[Date]
Honorable Attorney General Steve Carter
5th Floor State Office Building
302 W Washington St.
Indianapolis IN 46204

Dear Mr. Carter

I am writing to formally request an Attorney General Opinion on the constitutionality of
IC 35-42-2
Chapter 2. Battery and Related Offenses

IC 35-42-2-1
Battery
Sec. 1. (a) A person who knowingly or intentionally touches another person in a rude, insolent, or angry manner commits battery, a Class B misdemeanor.

A constituent, who believes he was falsely charged under the statute, has asked me to have you review the statute for constitutionality under the Indiana Bill of Rights and the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
The key terms of the statute, "rude", "insolent", or "angry" are undefined.

Clearly there is a core area the legislature intended to prohibit - punches in the nose, for example. But the statute isn't so limited.
There are two problems with a vague statute. One is that it doesn't tell a reasonable person what to do or not do, and ends up chilling expressive conduct - hugs, kisses , handshakes. Since it chills speech, it should be reviewed under the O'Brien test, and since it is vague it should be reviewed under the @ test. @@@ review notes.

The other problem is that it confers unfettered discretion to police, prosecutors, and juries, to arrest, charge, and convict, for reasons other than their conduct.
In my district, many of my constituents are poor and black young men, who are disproportionately convicted of this and other offenses. Many believe that the legal system allows for unfettered bias against them, that the inadequate resources of the public defender system prevent them from getting a fair trial, that the unconstitutional prison conditions amount to a badge of slavery, and that they face injustice from the law. I have other constituents who are concerned the vague statute may be used to unfairly target gays, and be used to do an end run around Lawrence v Texas.

The statute, read literally, would seem to outlaw football and basketball, slam dancing, and other forms of cultural expression. It can only be enforced selectively, creating an appearance of bias.

Statutes should be in plain English and have a clear meaning so people know what to do and know if they are being treated unfairly.
Two specific questions:
Is consent a defense?
Is there any limiting construction that should be applied to help avoid the constitutional question?

Thanks in advance,
Sincerely,
Representative John Day.

disciplinary commission.

this was 2/04. at gtstodolist. havent found later entry at ballots.blogspot.com where he eventually replies.

Mike, I called your office in July in reference to Williamson v Long and Majors v IEC, and we spoke about this in August, and I left you a message in December, but I still have not heard from you. I am aware that the commission had a closed meeting in December. Perhaps at that time they reached a decision on my settlement offer which has been outstanding since 2/2002, or is it 2001. Time is of the essense. Please let me know the status of the case, and how you want to handle it. My offer is withdrawn if I have not received any response within 30 days of your reciept of this letter. My clients continue to prefer settlement over litigation, but we need to move forward on this. If you wish to authorize me to discuss this directly with counsel for the commission that would be fine. I'm aware that I'm hard to reach, maybe we've just had a failure to communicate. My email, arbitraryaardvark @ themail.com, and my voicemail are both unreliable, so please respond in writing to 227 N Temple 46201 soonest.
Also, I am writing to confirm our conversation in August that we have discussed the issue of whether my previous status as your client creates a conflict, and decided that it doesn't.
- Robbin.
