Where Do Dem AG Candidates Stand on the Mortgage Settlement?

All the Democratic Attorneys General I like think the mortgage settlement goes too easy on the banks, and would interfere with important investigations into the foreclosure fraud issue.

One problem that we should be learning more about is the totally broken servicer business model that rushes people into foreclosure instead of working with borrowers to lower monthly payments

Even though this investigation is likely to be wrapped up by the time the next Attorney General is sworn in in 2013, it would be very helpful for Democratic voters to hear where Kathleen Kane and Patrick Murphy stand on this. PA has never had a Democratic Attorney General, so there’s lots of room to come up with a creative agenda for this office. There’s plenty of grist here for the next AG to become a nationally-recognized crusader on mortgage fraud, consumer protection, smarter drug policy, sentencing reform, and a whole host of other meaningful issues important to progressives.
