Rep. Laura Richardson, Acting Speaker of The House....

After her election to the California Assembly, Richardson purchased a home in Sacramento with no money down and a subprime mortgage. According to county records, Richardson received a default notice and Notice of Trustee's Sale in late 2007. In December 2007, Richardson was behind in payments by more than $18,000. According to the couple that sold the home to Richardson, Richardson was not maintaining the home. Sharon Helmar has stated: "The neighbors are extremely unhappy with her. She didn't mow the lawn or take out the garbage while she was there. We lived there for a long time, 30 years, and we had to hide our heads whenever we came back to the neighborhood."

The real estate broker who bought Richardson's Sacramento house at the foreclosure sale accused her of receiving preferential treatment because her lender had issued a notice to rescind the sale. James York, owner of Red Rock Mortgage, said he would file a lawsuit against Richardson and her lender, Washington Mutual, but settled out of court with the terms not disclosed. Richardson had not been making payments on the property for nearly a year, and had also gone into default on her two other houses in Long Beach and San Pedro. Richardson, D-Long Beach, has said that the auction should never have been held, because she had worked out a loan modification agreement with her lender beforehand and had begun making payments.

Richardson also initially did not disclose a loan from a strip club owner when on the City Council, public records show.

Perhaps we need an Amendment.

Congress shall adjourn before any General Election. Should the President need to summon Congress into session earlier than the date set for the new Congress then that Congress shall assemble and be sworn in before commencing business. Departing members of the old Congress may remain for only 10 days to effect a transfer of duties. The Speaker of the adjourned House shall remain until the new House assembles and chooses its Speaker.
