I have been trying to get on the section specifically for Cochise County and the page always comes up that the "page has been removed...etc" Would very much like to have it put back ASAP.

This is a great site--i refer to it for information for a newsletter for low-income seniors in a HUD-subsidized apartment building. We have a growing number of Hispanic residents--is it possible to have the site in Spanish also?

I retired in January of last year (2016). My former employer is using my photo in his yellow pages and internet advertising WITHOUT my permission. what type of attorney do I contact? I wish to sue for monetary damages if possible and to stop him from using my photo and name in these ads.
