Statehouse News
State Task Force pushing prevention, intervention to save homes
Home ownership is suppose to be the culmination of the American dream In recent months, however, the struggle to keep those homes has turned into a nightmare.
Foreclosure rates across the country continue to soar, and unfortunately,
homes, nearly two-and -a- half times the rate in July 2006. Additionally,
Whether the current situation is caused by the sub-prime mortgage market, high – interest adjustable rate mortgages, or simply poor decision making by homebuyers, there is a statewide consensus that action must be taken quickly to reverse this terrible trend.
It was with this reasoning that Governor Strickland created the Ohio Foreclosure Prevention Task Force, appointing state leaders from both parties to review the issues in great details and report their findings.
Among the people named to this task force are House Minority Whip Steve Driehaus {D-31st District}, and State Rep, Chris Widener {R-84th District}, who severed on the legislative subcommittee. Driehaus and his task force colleagues helped make a series of recommendations-focusing on intervention, prevention and creating new options-that at the time of this publication were pending a final vote before moving to the Governor’s office for consideration and approval. Some of those recommendations require legislative support.
Here are some of the task force’s recommendations:
1. Support House Bill 138, co-sponsored by State Rep. Mike Foley {D-14th
District} and State Rep. Louis Blessing {R-29th District} to expedite the
sheriff’s sale process;
2 Work with county auditors to create a data collection system to track appraisals and target scammers;
3. Encourage borrowers to get help early;
4. Support the Mortgage Relief Act, Introduced at the national level by
Sen. George Voinovich and allow a deductions against the State income tax
for home mortgages debt forgiveness for purchase mortgages on primary
residences only;
In August, the Government Foreclosure Prevention Task Force Worked with the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development {HUD} to organize a Homeownership Preservation Clinic in Cleveland , where homeowners learn about how to handle trouble with making payments or dealing with high interest rates loans. Then, in September and October, the state has organized a series of Borrower Outreach Days to offer Ohioans loan counseling and foreclosure prevention services.
“I believe this is a great opportunity for concerned homeowners to get the real, pertinent information they need to be able to save their homes. I would like to thank HUD and the state for bringing this program into our backyard. This can be a
. building block to bolster
successful cities.
Saving families’ homes must be a top priority for our state. The longer the foreclosure
. crisis linger, the longer our neighborhoods will suffer through depressed property
values and declining community reputation. I hope we can act on those
recommendations quickly to give
weather this financial storm and keep their roofs over their heads.”

On July 1, 1997 a new law became effective concerning Sex Offender Registration and Notification. Under that Law, convicted sex offenders must register for a specified period of time with the local Sheriff. Sex offenders are classified as,1) sexually oriented offenders; 2) habitual sex offenders- with notification; 3) habitual sex offenders- without notification; and 4) sexual predators.
The Sheriff is required to notify adjacent neighbors when SEXUAL PREDATOR or an HABITUAL SEX OFFENDER WITH NOTIFICATION moves into neighborhood. For purposes of notification, a neighborhood is defined as a 1,000 foot radius around the offender’s residence.
Pursuant to chapter [2950] of the Ohio Revised Code, we are informing you that such an offender, as mentioned above has registered with the Sheriff and is residing within your neighborhood. Under the law, the Sheriff must provide you with the offender’s name, address, physical description, photograph and the offense(s) that the person was convicted of. If you have concerns or difficulties with this person, you are encourage to report it to law enforcement.. The law enforcement agency will investigate the complaint and take corrective measures if necessary; and/or provide regarding any additional actions that should be taken or considered.
We are obligated to keep you informed, as well as advise you that the offender’s full sentence has been severed, unless still on parole or probation. Therefore, unless the offender commits another sex related crime or fails to register and comply with laws relating to sex offenders, no actions can be taken against him/her. Nor can they be forced to relocate. The law only address forced relocation means by civil action, should the offender reside within 1,000 feet of a school.
We are prohibited from providing additional details [other than those mentioned above]
about the offender. However, under the law, certain information about the offender is public record, and is public record, and is available for your inspection by contacting the Sheriffs office where the offender is registered.
