| Most important issue: |
At a time when 58B has been hit hardest with a record number of foreclosures, I would work effectively with community organizations and representatives from the public and private sectors to create housing counseling opportunities available in areas that have been hit hardest. I would also work at turning some of the foreclosed homes into affordable housing. |
