Paul S. Sarbanes: “In Maryland there would actually be a $2.73 billion loss in property values related to the wealth of Maryland residents.”

Maryland has had a great tradition since the early--even before the early days of the Republic--in colonial times, of having a very distinguished bar.

In my view, this is a very shortsighted approach, both as a matter of policy and negotiating tactics.

I think it provides a disturbing insight into how predatory lenders target military personnel.

These men and women play an important role in our defense, obviously, and the view that a number of these practices are directed at them in a whole range of ways, I think is a matter for the considerable concern.
