Florida Considering Going Digital With Foreclosure Notices

Before a house can be sold at a foreclosure auction, a notice must run in the legal notices section of the local paper (remember newspapers?) announcing the sale.  Some Florida lawmakers are considering revising the law to allow notices to run online instead of in print.  Proponents of the bill say this is just a step towards modernization.  Opponents say this will disfavor populations that don't have access to technology or are generally not tech savvy.

"Went on the market last wk. My owners' kids are grown so they say I'm too big for them now. Apparently size does matter."
