Dear all-

First of all, do not tell me as realtors you do not look at the final closing statement. We are not talking about the economy, we are talking about fraud.....this is not about people losing money on a bad investment, this is about people getting away with de-frauding a bank. Need I remind you that when you complete mortgage applications, you are signing under penalties of perjury...yes, you can go to jail. Realtors are not merely brokering the deal...they too are held to a standard...an ethical one at the least.

How about the little old lady that has a 2nd home here and cannot put the home as her homestead...is it fair to her that her home is OVERinflated on the property records because of bogus sales?

How often does the realtor get involved with the appraisal...of course, they are involved...the last thing they want is for the home not to be appraised for the mortgage value...so PLEASE do not claim ignorance here...you all know what is going on.

FYI-Both the Art League and Historical Society are charities under the tax code..it's public information on the irs website...

I agree on not focusing on the negative...all did an amazing job and the good outweighs the bad...

$500,000 in the middle of summer is something to be excited about!

I was at the event...it was great up until Judy took the stage. I paid $125 and I wanted to dance and have a good time, not listen to Judy's self praise. Sorry to insult anyone, but I do not agree with people using charities to get attention...that's all it was. It should have been a night for the charities, not for Judy.

Did anyone ever stop and think to praise Modern Steps? they volunteered at least 15 hours per dancer. Yes, they VOLUNTEERED!!!! There would be no show without them.

Then by the time the winner was announced, people had already left...those that were still there stopped listening, and those that NEVER drink started doing shots during Judy's self praise just to relieve the pain!!!! Judy got over 30 minutes of self praise...Craig deserved the glory, not Judy....all the dancers deserved the praise. Yes, it was a great idea to come up with the idea, Judy...but remember you should give without recognition (ask Fr. Pat about that verse).

I hope it's Judy's "last dance" , but not the event..it was a top of the line performance ruined by the ending with rude and obnoxious comments by Judy...even when you got into your limo you were rude...shame on you!

I think a public apology is in order...
