Broker's ignorance of law is surprising
Editor: I am amazed at the statement made by the Buyers and Sellers broker, Javon Hall, when she stated that she did not believe that our recent vote, that made our community restricted to those 55 and older, was legal. Does she abide by only those laws that she personally thinks are legal, and ignores those that "in her opinion" are illegal?
