How is that CenturyLink Bundle Working Out for You? - 02/27/12 01:36 PM
A few months ago, I was notified that Qwest Communications was becoming CenturyLink. I do not know if this was a buy-out or simply a name change. CenturyLink has been advertising that customers can save money by bundling services. These include land telephone lines, high speed internet, wireless phone service, DirecTV and possibly other services.

3-Year Trend in the Ratio of Selling Price to Asking Price for the Prescott Area - 02/09/12 12:11 AM
The chart below shows the 3-Year Trend in the Ratio of Selling Price to Asking Price for the Prescott Area. The chart shows that the ratios run from a low of 91% in March of 2011 to highs to a range of 94% to 96% most of the time.

Union Fight Bigger Than Wisconsin Brewing in AZ - 02/01/12 05:23 PM
New Bills in the Arizona Legislature Reduce the Power of Public Employee Unions Arizona's Republican Legislature could virtually wipe out public employee unions in a sweeping new package of legislation far broader than the collective-bargaining bills that shut down Wisconsin's Capitol last spring. 
The bills would:
-Make it illegal for government bodies to collectively bargain with employee groups. Public safety unions would be included in the ban.
--End the practice of automatic payroll deductions for union dues. 
--Ban compensation of public employees for union work.
