'Opponents of House Bill 1156 who helped kill it in a Republican-controlled committee March 13 said the initiative could push lenders from the market. "Our one concern is that nothing hurt lending in Colorado," said Don Childears, president of the Colorado Bankers Association. "We're not jumping to a conclusion that it's automatically bad and have organizations against it tomorrow. But we're aggressively thinking through its impact."'<\/i><\/p>\n

Ah, I get it — if lenders have to follow decent business practices and actually prove they own the title to property they are foreclosing on, it might "hurt lending." <\/p>\n

If they are lending without having to maintain paperwork about it, maybe that's the kind of lending we should<\/i> hurt.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the bill is being resurrected as a ballot measure. I'll be curious to see how the bankers and GOP make an argument against it in public. #ddtb<\/p>\n
