I used to think that most county officials could care less about the harm they caused local citizens and independent abstractors with their web sites and bulk sales. But I've seen a significant change in the past few years.

Their issues are your issues. Here are the most read articles from the latest ezine edition of News for Public Officials. Not coincidently, these articles were written by independent abstractors just like you.

• It's Time to Stop Identity Theft At The Source
• Would you give your sister's address to a stalker or your brother's bank account number to strangers on the Internet?
• County Clerk Indicted on Multiple Felony Charges

Want to help educate local officials on what matters most to you? I hope you will read the articles and share them with your county officials. There is a "share this article with a friend" link at the top of every article If you don't know your elected officials email address you can find it here. Ask for their comments and ask what they are doing to protect local taxpayers. Let them know what you think!
