I thought there was something about Elliot Spitzer, Governor of NY’s resignation.

It did seem strange at the time, that a successful and popular governor would resign so quickly just because of a little sex scandal. I thought sex scandals were kind of old news by now. Bill Clinton lived through it, and he has remained popular. No one really cared when it came right down to it. His impeachment was completely politically motivated. I may be the last to have read the accounts that Spitzer was busy trying to call out the Bush Administration for its’ lack of regulation of the mortgage industry. And right around that time, he was caught with the prostitute and hastily gave his resignation. I’m sure there is much more to the story. I’ll find the links and post them.

On another note, I’ve started doing a study of which mortgage companies are successfully completing the most foreclosures in my area of the country. I’m in southwest Florida. After a quick look through county foreclosures, I can already conclude that it is the same banks, lenders, entities that are plastered all over the court records. The same few law firms are also stamped on the filings.

I also wrote an e-mail to Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum to tell him that people in Florida facing foreclosure need some backup from his office. From what I’ve heard and seen first hand, a lot of these foreclosure filings are completely out of compliance with due process, civil process, and notification laws. Not to mention legal collection practices.

I know this is a new blog, and it will take people a while to find me. But if you do find me, please post. Add your comments.

    If it’s actually true about Spitzer trying to call out the Bush administration, then that makes me the last person to have heard about it, and why was he doing that anyway?–not his job anymore. And he was no longer either popular or successful, after Troopergate and the fiasco with the proposed driver’s licenses for the otherwise undocumented. His popularity was down around George’s. The hooker thing was his 3rd strike. Stupid man. But good luck with the foreclosure project, the banks and other lenders definitely need to be spanked.

    On 2/14/2004 Spitzer wrote an op ed piece published in the Washington Post, titled, “Predatory Lenders’ Partner in Crime, How the Bush Administration Stopped the States from Helping Consumers”. washingtonpost.com 2/14/2008 page A25.

    Oh well, maybe he wasn’t popular or successful. I can’t know everything. He still was Gov of NY though. Seemed to go away quietly.

    Thanx for your comment.
