Fastest Growing Foreclosure Rates are in the 6th Congressional District

According to a report from Policy Matters Ohio, two of the fastest growing foreclosure rates for Ohio Counties are in Charlie Wilson's 6th Congressional District.

Meigs County has the second fastest foreclosure rate at 33.9 % in one year while
Noble County has the fourth fastest foreclosure rate at 31.0%.

Foreclosures hurt the entire community, not just the family in foreclosure. Houses in proximity to foreclosed properties, particularly vacant and abandoned properties, see their property values decline and neighborhood health diminish.

And where is Congressman Wilson on these issues? Instead of trying to bring high tech
green renewable jobs to the area, all we get from Mr. Wilson now is Ohio's high unemployment and job losses to compound the foreclosure problem. Does Mr. Wilson have any bills in front of Congress to stop this problem? Or is he out digging for coal?
