Massachusetts: Patrick to cut 1,000 jobs from state payroll: Will slash budget $1b; local aid is left intact
"Some of the heaviest cuts, $293 million, are in the state's Medicaid program, known as MassHealth, but there will be no reduction in benefits or eligibility for covered residents....Instead, hospitals and doctors who provide care for MassHealth patients will receive lower reimbursements for the services they provide....Last night, the Massachusetts Hospital Association issued a statement that said the cuts will create 'extreme hardship for many hospitals and the communities they serve.'"

"Ludwig remains proudest . . . of his efforts to compel bank compliance with fair-lending laws and his revitalization of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), a 1977 law requiring banks to invest in poorer neighborhoods and improve lending and service to low- and moderate-income borrowers. Although branded an 'activist' for his vigorous support of the act . . . he points to the cold, hard facts to justify his tactics. After just one Justice Department referral in the OCC's previous 129 years, Ludwig's tenure witnessed 27 fair-lending cases, resulting in tens of millions of dollars in fines against violators."

Florida reaches landmark deal with Countrywide, helping homeowners in subprime deals
Countrywide deal provides options for those struggling: It may help 30,000 Texas homeowners
The Bomber as School Reformer: Voters—and debate moderators—shouldn’t let Bill Ayers and Barack Obama off the hook.
Bob Rubin in 1993: "The President, as you know, has a broad, comprehensive strategy for dealing with the economic problems of the country for putting the country back on the right track for the long-term. A lot of the legislative and executive actions that have taken place in 1993 have been pursuant to that long-term economic strategy of the President's. An important component of that strategy is to deal with the problems of the inner city and distressed rural communities -- pursuant to his belief that we must make real progress in those areas if this country is going to be successful in the future for all of us. The reform of the Community Reinvestment Act is an essential building block in the efforts I've just mentioned."
