Attorney General Marc Dann to discuss "The Predatory April 14; 4:00 p.m. In recent years, Cleveland has had the dubious distinction of leading the country in the foreclosure epidemic that has spared few American cities. Within Cuyahoga County, Cleveland has been especially hard hit, as families on both sides of the Cuyahoga River have been forced to walk away from their homes. In Cleveland’s poorer neighborhoods, the sites of boarded-up and vandalized houses, crime and homelessness are on the rise. Shuttered homes line the streets of the older, inner-inner-ring suburbs as well. Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann will discuss the state’s foreclosure crisis in a free public lecture, “The Predatory Lending Debacle, and What the State Is Doing to Stop It," on April 14 at 4:00 p.m. at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law on East 18th and Euclid Avenue. There will be an opportunity for members of the audience to question the Attorney General following his presentation, and a reception will follow the event. Attorney General Dann is appearing as a guest of the law school’s Democratic Law Organization (D-LO). Marc Dann, a former Ohio Democratic State Senator, was elected Ohio Attorney General in November 2006. In the office of Attorney General, he serves as an advocate of the people of Ohio and its institutions. Since his inauguration in January 2007, he has been diligent in his efforts to protect homeowners from exploitation by unscrupulous mortgage lenders. During his years in the Ohio Senate, Mr. Dann played a critical role in the investigation of Coingate, the scandal surrounding the investment of $50 million by the Bureau of Workers Compensation in rare coins peddled by Tom Noe, a long-time Republican fundraiser. | ||
