Breaking... Sheriff says banks are to blame...
Yes. That’s the way it goes. And that happens quite often. The renter is paying the rent but the “owner”
isn’t making the payments. The renter is screwed.
If they allow the renter to stay in the house and renegoatiate the mortgage, the “owner” not only gets his loan lowered, he gets to keep the rents he collected.
News I’d like to see:
Breaking: All Bank in Cook County Close. County Payroll moved to New Zealand...
Ahhh.... ??? Since when does a Sherriff have to power to stop a forclosure?
I’m thinking someone has seriously overstepped their authority and is going to suffer the consiquences.

On Search by City, select East Cleveland (suburb) then submit.
Cleveland East of the River is another one to try. Takes a while to load.
The newer ones are at the bottom of the lists. Also click on FYI: Warning and Terms of sale.
it's a cook county thing, you wouldn't understand .. please move along
So, if I don’t want to make the payments on my car, can I tell the Repo Man “FU” and get he hands offen mah ride?
We would have been better off just paying off the subprimes - make them current. It would have shown this charade for what it is...
Nuf’ said.
No link. Said on air.
I wonder what law he is enforcing...
This brings to mind a socialist/nativist squatter law in Mexico. I asked a business man I was in Leon with some years ago about the squatter tent settlements in some area.
He told me there was a law that certain un-developed land could be lost by the property owner in a process where sqatters with certain percentage of native parentage camped on the land.
Now we will see that “housing” is a “right” and that property owners and lien holders cannot exercise their rights to get back their property or foreclose on security under the Hugo Obama Reich that is just beginning.
Here’s a link on this story:
Cook Co. sheriff to stop foreclosure evictions
http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=241292
Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart announced today that his office is suspending all mortgage foreclosure evictions as of Thursday.
The Chicago Democrat is holding a news conference to discuss the details this morning. A release from the sheriff’s office says the suspension of evictions comes in the “wake of the national foreclosure crisis.”
According to the sheriff’s Web site, the county had about 50 evictions scheduled for today alone.
Check back at dailyherald.com for further updates.
Tom Dart supported Obama in his previous run for office in Illinois.
“He was also catching on among whites in the district thanks to Thomas J. Dart, then a popular state representative who is now Cook County sheriff.”

“I have received dozens of endorsements from elected officials and political
organization, including the support of Senator Barack Obama, Senator Richard
Durbin, U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky, the Cook County Democratic Party,
and Equality Illinois”
Thomas J. Dart
Well...they could be Black and deserving of a free house. To say otherwise would be racist.
“Cook County Sheriff Suspends all home foreclosures”
Next headline = Mortgage lenders suspend all activities in Cook County - Sherriff blames banks again.
“If the police aren’t doing it then who does? The suits at the banks? Good luck.”
Now forming - the Countrywide SWAT Team.
Maybe they should just “redline” Cook Country and not write any new mortgages there until foreclosures are enforced.
“I hope the Sheriff of Tarrant County does this so I can stop paying my mortgage!”
I hear you, FRiend...Unfortunately, Cook County Communism doesn’t fly with Sheriff Dee Anderson. But hey, at least we don’t have Barack Obumbler agitating in our fair city...or Chicagoland crime rates:-)
Free rent for all! Woo hoo!
Free homes for all! Woo hoo!
In the words of the immortal Yakov Smirnoff, “What a Country!”
*Traditionally* the a sheriff is the top law enforcement entity in any county, parish, township...what have you. They get this way becuase they're the *only* elected law enforcement officer
In addition, a sheriff and their duly deputized officers are indeed "officers of the court." They're part of the judicial branch.
Police officers are *traditionally* part of the executive branch - Police chiefs are hired and fired by the executive branch - Not elected.
This makes the sheriff directly answerable to the local people for his employment and as such many went to great lengths to protect the locals if it was thought they were being treated unfairly by anyone.
For instance, in most cases federal marshals or other officers were required to check in with the local sheriff before approaching citizens for service of warrants or even just a few simple questions. And more often than not the sheriff would accompany them to serve the warrant or conduct the interview - especially if the person in question was a prominent local businessman or what-have-you.
I said *Traditionally*.
Much of that has changed in the last twenty or thirty years but one of the areas where a sheriff still has a ton of power is in the area of evictions. Eviction isn't a *legal* matter it's a civil matter - a matter whose sole responsibility lies with the judicial branch.
So while I may think it's stupid for him to do this, I'm pretty certain it's legal although the local judges may be pissed if they issue an eviction order that's not followed. In any case, it surely guarantees his future employment.
In the past this action might have hurt him with local bankers, who figured highly in his bid for re-election. However, that's no longer a problem as I doubt there's more than one or two locally-owned and operated banks/lenders in Cook County. Probably none would be my guess. I may be wrong about that because I know nothing about that locality; but in the end, it still won't hurt him as much as it will help him.
Shoot, if it gets bad enough he may be looked on as a life saver and he could parlay that into the mayor's office or a congressional seat. Then he could do some *real* damage.
