Managing the Mortgage Mess

An agreement involving national banks and state attorneys general penalizes banks for improper mortgage and foreclosure practices and offers relief for homeowners. Yet some say it leaves far too many without recourse. Meanwhile, the Obama administration has another plan to offer further help. We’ll see how these initiatives might affect New Hampshire. 

Guests

  • Dean Christon - Executive Director of the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority.
  • Russ Thibeault - President of Applied Economic Research.

We'll also hear from:

  • James Boffetti. - Senior Assistant Attorney General in New Hampshire
