Credit card holders gain protections as the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 passes both houses and is signed by President Obama. The act bans universal default and retroactive rate hikes, requires clear disclosures, 21 day payment window, ends late fee traps, and prohibits double cycle billing.

Power of Hispanic surnames in Texas Democratic primary

Political prognosticators note Hispanics are a growth force in Texas politics and often vote for candidates with Hispanic surnames. In the March 2 Democratic primary, governor candidates Alma Aguado, Felix Alvarado, Bill Dear, Clement Glenn, and Star Locke contend with frontrunners Bill White and Farouk Shami, while lieutenant governor and land commissioner races test surname influence amid party endorsements and prior statewide losses. White leads in a Feb poll among likely voters, with strong Hispanic cross voting for others, and runoff chances hinge on turnout and name recognition.

Color of money and race in midcentury vacation spots

Before 1964 segregation barred blacks from many resorts and clubs, giving rise to black professionals and a thriving middle class. Idlewild in Michigan and Las Vegas venues like Moulin Rouge show evolving access, while Martha's Vineyard becomes a long standing mixed resort. Post civil rights, integration widened access and the only color now is money. Ray Wilson can be contacted at rayehasen comcast.net.
