Thanks to the Richmonder for this video of Del. “Sideshow” Bob Marshall, Sen. Donald McEachin, and Sen. Chap Petersen coming together earlier today in support of mortgage foreclosure reform. Truly, politics does make strange bedfellows! In this case, I’m glad to see it as I agree with what’s being proposed: 1) “a 30-day notice to foreclose on a defaulted party”; 2) “Forbid the use of fabricated or forged documents in obtaining a foreclosure”; and 3) “Require creditors to register their purchase of mortgages with the Clerk of Circuit Court.” Who could disagree with any of that? We’ll find out soon enough…
“Sideshow Bob,” Chap and Donald Agree? Politics Sure Does Make Strange Bedfellows!
