My comment on the managing owner of the offending property magically disappeared somehow, but I urge everyone to google for his name and ponder why/how a major Obama supporter could allow this sort of repulsive racism to happen.

Thanks once again to the Fair Housing Center and to Pam and Kristen for all of efforts to enforce non-discrimination in housing!

The federal judge, Sean Cox, assigned the case is the brother of Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Cox.

Sean Cox previously presided over the federal criminal civil rights violation case of WCSD deputies indicted in connection with the death of Clifton Lee,Jr. and the assault of his brother Bruce Lee. Judge Cox drew controversy by placing much of the blame for Bruce Lee’s beating upon Lee himself for allegedly spitting upon a sergeant in charge at the scene.

Two deputies were eventually fired and others received disciplinary action ranging from suspension to demotion.

Good job Pam! My family has had some experiences with discrimination against families with children at another apartment complex in the area, and while our efforts to seek a remedy did not meet with success, the experience convinced me that various forms of discrimination are pervasive.

(Also, it would be good if I could spell my own last name.)

Great article. Once upon a time I worked at the county, helping to manage the database system used by area HUD-funded homeless service agencies, and hearing about the myriad hurdles that some folks have to go through to get an apartment was and is maddening and embarrassing for the community.
