Representative Harold James
317 Irvis Office Building
Harrisburg, Pa. 17120

Dear Representative James:

On behalf of Scranton City Council I have been asked to write a letter to you regarding House Bill 418.

It is with great pleasure that Scranton City Council offers their full support for House Bill 418. It is their hope that our Legislators will support this and take emergency action to protect homeowners and banks by enacting a Homeowners & Banks Protection Act.

This will be of great importance to the citizens of the City of Scranton to protect their assets during this period of financial unrest that is leading to home foreclosures in record numbers.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If we can be of any further assistance you can contact our office at xxx-xxxx.

Sincerely,
Kay Garvey
City Clerk
