They Get Along

December
24

Gov. Spitzer and Attorney General Andrew Cuomo today announced that more than $18 million will be split between 13,686 New Yorkers as the result of a $325 million national settlement with Ameriquest Mortgage Co. over predatory loan practices.

The company was accused of encouraging homeowners to refinance mortgages that either misrepresented and failed to disclose loan terms, charged excessive loan origination fees and inflated appraisals to qualify borrowers for loans, according to the joint press release Spitzer and Cuomo put out.

It’s the only news release so far today—a real quiet day at the Capitol—from the always active press offices of Spitzer and Cuomo.

There has been much speculation about the relationship between the state’s two leading Democrats, especially after Cuomo in July released a damming report in July that showed Spitzer’s aides were conspiring to release travel records on Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno.
But aides said the staffs still work well together, and Spitzer even attended Cuomo’s birthday party a few weeks ago.

    This Money should be used to lower the proposed multi-billion dollar deficit which NYS will have next year. Or will these foilish Dem’s give that money back to all New Yorkers and take it back in the form of taxes a few months later.
