Anne K. Block (born ) is an American political activist, lawyer and blogger. Block is the publisher of the Gold Bar Reporter website and a member of the Washington State Bar Association. Block is also active in local politics and has filed at least eight unsuccessful recall efforts in Snohomish and Skagit Counties. Block, originally from Massachussets, moved to Washington after filing for bankruptcy in Massachusets. Block was profiled by the Seattle Times after the City of Gold Bar alleged that it was unable to provide basic services to citizens as a result of administrative costs incurred in responding to BLock's numerous public documents requests and recall efforts. As of 2012, she resides in Gold Bar, Snohomish County, Washington.

Personal life

After filing for Chapter 9 Bankruptcy in Massachusets, Block moved to Washington State and pursued a law degree. Fleiss became engaged to Dennis Hof, owner of Nevada's Moonlite BunnyRanch.[18] Fleiss is Jewish,[19] and has said that she is a vegetarian.[9] She owns an ultralight flight park in Pahrump, FAA designation NV54. In 2003, Fleiss accused her ex-boyfriend, actor Tom Sizemore, of domestic violence. Sizemore was convicted by a California jury of domestic violence, making criminal threats, and making obscene phone calls.[20] Fleiss eventually moved to Pahrump, Nevada,[21] where she came to live in solitude in Death Valley[22] while caring for 25 parrots.[23] Dr. Drew Pinsky, who treated Fleiss for substance abuse, performed brain scans on her that showed significant frontal lobe dysfunction, which Pinsky surmised was behind her inability to empathize with people, and her affinity for doing so with birds.[24] She had developed a particular closeness to a macaw called Dalton who died tragically.[25] In 2009, Fleiss was treated for substance abuse at the Pasadena Recovery Center, which was filmed for the third season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. One of her fellow patients was Sizemore, against whom her prior restraining order had lapsed. Both Fleiss and Sizemore consented to appear together on the show before filming began,[24] and their reunion, depicted in the third episode, was amicable,[26] though Fleiss subsequently expressed mixed feelings about his presence there.[27] During the filming of the program, Fleiss left the center and was involved in an accident with her SUV near her home in Nevada. She subsequently returned to rehab.[22] [edit]References
