An Illinois law intended to help reduce foreclosures is drawing cries of discrimination from some of the people it is trying to protect, according to the Chicago Defender newspaper. “Nearly 60 days after Illinois House Bill 4050 went into effect to supposedly protect consumers from predatory lenders, a coalition of Black and Latino city residents say the new law is actually destroying property values in select minority communities.” The law is a pilot program that is being applied in 10 Chicago zip codes chosen for their high foreclosure rates, among other factors.

As Foreclosures Mount, Candidates React to the Credit Crisis
Here’s what the major presidential candidates have to say about the growing foreclosure epidemic: Democrats The three main Democratic presidential candidates — Clinton, Obama and Edwards —have made various proposals for modest reform, including setting up a federal fund to help homeowners fend off foreclosure and providing borrowers with counseling, along with laws to ban predatory lending policies. Hillary Rodham Clinton wants to put an end to prepayment penalties for home mortgages and to set up a $2 billion federal fund to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. With mortgage foreclosures at historic highs, Democrats and Republicans are fighting over a political issue that could have major implications in the 2008 presidential campaign.
