From the Deseret News:
A national community advocacy group fighting the current foreclosure crisis gave Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff an “A” grade for his office’s efforts to fight mortgage fraud and aid Utah homeowners in trouble.
The 38-year-old grass-roots organization ACORN conducted a study through its financial justice center that evaluated all 51 attorneys general. The A.G.s were awarded points based on their responses to a questionnaire that explored policy issues regarding the mortgage service industry, predatory lending and state help for distressed homeowners. Shurtleff was one of 18 state attorneys general who earned A’s, and one of only two Republicans in that group.
“I am honored to be one of the few attorneys general to receive an A from ACORN for my office’s efforts to protect the citizens of Utah from mortgage fraudsters, unscrupulous brokers and predatory lenders,” Shurtleff said. “We will continue to investigate, prosecute and sue anyone who tries to harm Utah homeowners.”
