Hi, this is interesting, finding a way to legitimize, justify and bring an aspect of fairness to an activity that is usually promoted in an unlawful manner.

`(ii) PENALTIES- `(I) FALSE STATEMENT- Any certification filed pursuant to clause (i) shall contain an acknowledgment that any willful false statement made in such certification is punishable under section 1001, of title 18, United States Code, by fine or imprisonment of not more than 5 years, or both.

Investment banks, big insurance companies, and others who bought securities that were based on mortgages that were no good.EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE GROUPS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FAIL AND THE CRIMINALS THAT STARTED THIS MESS SHOULD BE EXPOSED AND PUNISHED.

I went before the city commission meeting and explained that I think it is unfair and completely unlawful to put laws such as this onto specific members of the community.

When Countrywide and Ameriquest were punished, it did not phase them at all.

Try being in charge of a strong willed child with no ability to reward or punish...it's a tough situation.

To me these are the worst crooks and should get the worst punishment.

But, I feel I am punishing other family members who are not guilty of causing any problems.

The CCRA also publishes an easy reference guide to State of Washington Residential Rental Laws and a listing of Unlawful Detainers for our county that goes back 7 years, so I purchase updates of these as needed.

The punishment didn't seem right to me at the time.
