Home Foreclosures in Ohio: Leaders Shaft Homeowners Facing Foreclosure
Well, the great elected leaders in Ohio have shown just how much they care about homeowners facing foreclosure — and it ain’t a hellvua lot!!
What have they gone and done? How about taking their summer recess without voting on a measure that would have ”put a six-month moratorium on home foreclosures, requires notification to renters when an owner files for foreclosure, and mandates registration of home loan servicers.” [Source, Homeowners ignored, ToledoBlade.com]

It’s no wonder the home foreclosure crisis is not getting solved. If this is the way elected officials are acting, we could be stuck in this home foreclosure crisis a lot longer than is necessary.
According to the aforementioned article, Ohio had record filings of home foreclosures in the first quarter of this year. The average Joe is literally screaming for help — and what do our senators do - they take a friggin’ vacation!
And, when there’s a budget shortfall because fewer property taxes are being collected, who are they going to turn to — good ole Joe Schmoe. They’ll raise the property taxes on those who have managed to hang on to their homes, or raise sales taxes, or find some other way to stick it to the average citizen who’s just trying to get by.
But isn’t that always the case?
