Written by Rusty Tweed I am about to go out on a limb here and speculate what affects SARS CoV-2 (technical name for COVID-19) will have on the economy. This virus is something new and we have yet to experience anything like this in our lifetimes. It’s a wonder that at the time of this writing (April 13th) we’ve watched…
On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newson of California released THE Executive Order N-37-20 with the aim of minimizing evictions during this critical time in California.
