October 22, 2010Peggy Merrill of Albany didn’t start out to be an activist. She doesn’t consider herself one now.
Still, she is actively trying to bring attention to what she believes are serious problems connected with banks administering the federal Home Affordable Modification Program. She is hoping people will respond to two days of rallies scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. today, and Saturday at the Capitol building in Salem.
HAMP was started in March 2009 to help people facing foreclosure keep their homes. “I got involved when friends in Stayton got tangled up in the process,” she said. “They did everything right and out of the blue they were foreclosed on.”
A paralegal, Merrill began researching the HAMP program, specifically the case of her friends, Harry and Judy Stratton, who are helping organize the rally.
