On Monday, Florida Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson told reporters that he thought that the extension would be approved. However both senators and representatives thought spending any more money on the stimulus effort also could stir up a hornets’ nest.
The proposal in the Senate that could happen has the following points:
- Extend the $8,000 credit through March 31, 2010
- Drop by $2,000 for each of the subsequent three quarters of 2010
The current tax credit expires on November 30th 2009.

During these trying times having a resource where you can see all the sale prices of all the local stores can be extremely helpful.
The stores she keeps track of are Stater Bros, Von’s, Ralph’s, Food4less, Fresh & Easy and Henry’s. She usually updates them on Wednesday when the ads come out. She also takes the time to mark in red which items are the best deal vs the other stores.

AB 957 “The Buyers Choice Act” Passes
October 20, 2009 by Heidi Franklin
Governor Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 957 into law. This bill, authored by Assembly Member Cathleen Galgiani (D-Tracy), protects consumers by ensuring that they have the right to choose their own real estate service providers when purchasing foreclosed properties.
AB 957, known as the Buyer’s Choice Act, prohibits sellers of REO properties – typically foreclosed properties owned by banks – from requiring the buyer to use a particular title company, escrow settlement or other real estate service provider. This unethical, anti-competitive practicedrives up costs for homebuyers and takes business away from locally owned companies. The problem has become particularly acute in the Central Valley and Inland Empire, areas that have faced some of the highest foreclosure rates in the country. Recent data indicate that 11 of the nation’s top 20 foreclosure rates are in California metropolitan areas.
