Clergy pressures Bondi on foreclosure issues

Religious leaders from around the state rallied at the Florida capitol Thursday morning calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to drop her opposition to a portion of a 50-state settlement with five mortgage lenders that have been accused of mishandling loan and mortgage documents. Fifty state attorneys general have been negotiating a settlement with five lenders, but Bondi is one of seven members of the group who opposes a key negotiating point — cutting the mortgage principal for qualified homeowners.
