I am very pleased to introduce FlashReport readers to our new Political Law Correspondent James
Lacy. For many of you, Jim may not need any introduction, as he has been engaged in the ‘contact sport’ of politics for quite a long time now.
If I had to make a list of the top ten political law experts that I know, Jim Lacy would definately be on that list. So I am very excited that he has accepted our invitation to write for our website. Jim will be able to offer all of us some great insight and perspective on legal issues facing California elections (and all of our various political subdivisions). This will include legal issues on a national level that will have a significant impact on us here in the Golden State.
Jim’s experience is extensive, and you can read more about his background right here.
Of course, Jim’s political insights and expertise will allow him to provide insights on many aspects of California politics — but he’ll be going ‘point’ for us on the legal side of things.
Jim’s first post on the FlashReport appears right below this introduction, so enjoy! Feel free to e-mail Jim with questions or ideas of things about which you would like him to opine, and I am sure he will appreciate comments to his postings!
On a closing note, political law Attorney Michael Houston has admirably served us here in this site for the first year of the FlashReport, and we are forever indebted to the time he has donated to us! I’m sure we’ll still hear from him from time to time, but I hope you will join me in thanking Michael for his contributions.
