Nick Dominguez and Eric Romero aren't chivalrous knights or even police officers -- they're a city maintenance worker and equipment operator, respectively, in Santa Fe's Solid Waste Division. But the two took action befitting a protector of the peace, knightly or otherwise, early one cold morning not long ago. On their way to work, Dominguez and Romero witnessed a mugger knock down an elderly woman and steal her purse as she waited alone at a Cerrillos Road bus stop. The city employees stopped, got the woman to her feet, helped her brush off the snow and called the police for her. Then one stayed with her while the other got back into his vehicle and (unsuccessfully) attempted to find the assailant. Who does that these days? Who sees something happen and stops to help?" asks Angela De ...

Louisiana is the only one of the 50 states which bases its legal system on civil, as opposed to common, law. As if the civil law difference was not enough, Louisiana's lien law is its own unique maze of rules and requirements, many of which mirror each other as between public and private projects. Since public property cannot be subject to lien claims, the Public Works Act is not, strictly speaking, "lien and privilege" statutes. Statutes in Louisiana require construction bonds on public works. The general purpose of the Private Works Act is to protect the interests of those persons who perform labor on, supply material to, contract work for, or lease movable equipment used on a project, while also protecting the interests of the owner of the project or the person requesting the work. L...

Being an expert in the complexities of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act isn't part of Bernadette Salazar's job description as senior human-resources administrator for Santa Fe County. But during the past year, Salazar has become well-versed in FLSA law while assisting the county's legal department, which has been handling a "difficult and complex lawsuit," according to county attorney Stephen Ross. So impressed is Ross with Salazar's contributions that he nominated her as the county's spring employee of the quarter. The work she's done "has been of the highest quality, even above the quality that is expected of experts in FLSA," Ross said in his nomination letter. Among the more meticulous aspects of Salazar's assistance was the production of complex and highly detailed spreadsheets...

Lien law in Louisiana is set forth in the Private Works Act, which governs if the owner, that is the party that hires the general contractor, is a private entity. The Public Works Act applies if the party that hires the general contractor is the State of Louisiana or a subdivision thereof. According to the Prive Works Act, a lien creates 2 kinds of rights: claims against the owner and the contractor, and a privilege in the property securing the claim against the owner. A claim is a direct cause of action so that the contractor and owner are directly liable to the claimant. The Public Works Act does not create any rights against the property. The primary right created by the statute is a claim against the contractor and the payment bond the contractor is required to obtain on each public...

In January 2010, Oregon joined a growing list of states that have enacted false claims acts modeled after the federal one, which was first enacted during the Civil War. The Oregon False Claims Act imposes civil penalties against contractors who submit false or fraudulent claims for payment on Oregon public works projects. Although Oregon's act is similar to the federal act, there are some important differences.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. futures regulator on Wednesday [Nov. 16] pushed for immediate action in the wake of collapsed brokerage, including a requirement that all intermediaries should hire an independent party to make sure customers funds are kept separate from the firm's own money. Scott O'Malia, a Republican commissioner at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, said in order to show the public that segregation works and that MF Global was an isolated incident, it must act quickly.
