Foreclosure update

An editorial in today's New York Times reviews the federal government's efforts to date to stem the rising tide of foreclosures across the country and finds those efforts to be inadequate.

Our own recording statistics thus far for the month of August provide strong evidence that the foreclosure problem is not getting better. For the first 20 days in August of 2009, we recorded 17 foreclosure deeds and 39 orders of notice. For the same 20 days this August, we recorded 42 foreclosure deeds and 72 orders of notice.
