Dispatch:
....The Democratic candidate for Congress in the 15th District, which includes much of Columbus and suburbs to the west, wants to end paydays for executives such as Angelo Mozilo and David Sambol of Countrywide Financial Corp., which is being acquired by Bank of America.
In a press release, Kilroy fingered the pair as the "architects" of the crash in the subprime lending market that has spilled over to Wall Street and left thousands of Ohioans in danger of losing their homes....
“It’s time to change the priorities in Washington so the powerful banking lobby no longer writes the rules to benefit Wall Street at the expense of Main Street," she said in the press release.....
Don't you wonder how Stivers feels about these mortgage kingpins?
> If you've looked at Open Secrets recently, you already know that Mary Jo Kilroy has received sixty-eight percent of her contributions from individuals. Her Republican opponent has only gotten forty-four percent of his campaign money from individuals. Kilroy also has a much larger campaign fund. Kilroy's Republican opponent, Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, has heavy contributions from investment firms and large business PACs. Of course, I'm not surprised.
> Meanwhile, we still have to deal with our current member of Congress, Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce. Pryce continues to do her best to avoid voting. According to the Washington Post, Pryce has missed 198 votes (15.0%) during the current Congress... Way to go, Deb! Keep showing your constituents that you just don't care!!!
