O'Malley Signs Md. Bills Battling Foreclosure Into Law

RIVERDALE, Md. -- Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley signed a series of bills into law Thursday, giving the state broad, new powers to help homeowners avoid foreclosure.

The governor is taking action against predatory lenders and shady practices that have caused a sharp increase in foreclosures.

Prince George's County has more foreclosures than any other area in the state, but almost every county in Maryland has experienced an alarming increase in foreclosures in the past year.

Maryland's new laws are the most comprehensive in the country. The laws subject fraudulent mortgage schemes to criminal prosecution, extend the time a bank must wait to foreclose from 15 days to 150 days and offer homeowners protection from tricks that result in signing away their homes to third parties.

Geoffrey Tate, a housing counselor, said he hopes the new laws will help him save people's homes.

Here's Mr. and Mrs. Governor .....

1. You do know the repukes in our state

are working hard at trying to come up with a way to tell us he is really taking money out of our pockets don't you?


I am glad he got it through but I do also dread hearing how the repukes twist it.

2. Fuck them .... they got lucky with Ehrlich ....... it'll be another 30 years until we get ........

.............. the next Repub asshat. They got lucky with a shit governor in Glendenning and a crappy campaign by Kennedy. That allowed them to get scrub guy like Ehrlich in.

Look around the state ...... the moderate Repubs are going down and the reactionaries are running. They got nuttin'.

3. I'm hoping so.

I am stuck in a very red area of the state so get to hear them scream their shit all the time. Working on the ones that might have some brain cells left though.

Hoping District 1 gets a Dem this time after the idiots voted Gilchrest out in their primary.

5. I actually think that's possible

What's his name? Andy Harris? He's an extremist. Gilchrist was a cupcake compared to that guy. I know there's a high Dumbfuck population on the Eastern shore part of the district, but on the Western shore, not so much.

Let's hope.

7. I'm hoping so and hoping to

see Kravotil actually run up this way. Looking up since he was in Northeast tonight.
Gilchrest wasn't all bad but I want a Dem in the seat.
