If Oesterle was Slimak's business partner, do you think Gov. Daniels would have signed the Realtors Protection Law. I've certainly not heard anything negative about Slimak until you anonymous posters stopped by to attack him. I don't suppose you would be realtors?

I have to second these questions raised about Slimak. And has anyone wondered why the conservative Republican Oesterle has aligned himself with the Consumer Federation. Angie's List a consumer watchdog? Gimme a break, they're the most ruthless business around. Almost seems like he's Slimak's partner?

I wonder about Slimak too. His old company tried to sell me a mortgage and didn't even tell me about his relationship with the mortgage company. I thought that was supposed to be disclosed?

The real shame here may not be the mainstream media being asleep at the switch. It may be the lack of verification of the spurious claims of Slimak. Check out when he bought his new business relative to the law passing. Check out the success of HomeYeah in the months leading to it's closure, well before this law passed (he was tanking). Check out his claim that this "put him out of business". Not only does this strain credulity if you merely read the law, but it defies the experience of other companies both in Indiana and other states that have passed similar laws, many of whom are doing just fine. Maybe Slimak and Angie's List are just getting a lot of free ink thanks to a lack of reporting. Maybe he found an easy way to justify the higher prices of his new business.

Who's using who?
