Email to WA State Legislators
The law is so misguided and inartfully drafted that agents have little choice but to discriminate against the very people the law was intended to help.
Dear Rob,
You’ve probably heard by now I sent an email to all current WA State Legislators, giving them my view of your office’s HB 2791 fiasco.
Here’s the email . . .

Oh Eric, you putz
Dear Rob,
Have you seen what Eric Dunn is passing around?
He’s created a continuing legal education package called, “Fighting Predatory Lending in Washington.” Well, at least he and his partner have, both of them being listed as authors of the CLE materials.
I called Eric and asked about it, leaving a voice mail. That was a couple days ago and he’s never called back . . . and I’m done waiting.

And again . . .
Dear Rob,
It looks like there’s an ongoing effort to spin HB 2791 so your office is not held accountable for this monstrosity . . .
Attorney General McKenna has been working with the Washington State Realtors from the beginning to protect against the unintended consequences in the final version of the bill. Our original bill was modeled after legislation in other states and carefully crafted to allow homeowners to receive help from legitimate real estate professionals. Unfortunately, as noted in a previous NuWire story, the most onerous amendments were added to the bill in the final days of the session without input from either.
Attorney General McKenna and the Washington State Realtors are scheduling a meeting to discuss the legislative fix in the coming weeks. The Washington State Legislature doesn’t come back into session until January. We look forward to working with the industry to return the law to what we all intended-protecting desperate homeowners from the scammers who prey on them.Janelle Guthrie, Communications Director for Attorney General Rob McKenna

This just in, HB 2791 Sucks
Washington's attorney general Rob McKenna said the idiots (my word, not his) sneaked "real estate brokers/agents" in to this legislation under cover of darkness the eve before voting on this legislation
Dear Rob,
A buddy of mine just got back from the Northwest MLS “Distressed Properties Law” training for brokers.
They were there to learn more about your new foreclosure rescue scam laws.
He sent me an email about it, and there was mention of legislators “sneaking” things into the law on the eve of the vote.
Any truth to that?

As with all complaints, yadda yadda yadda
Possible, I suppose, but in view of my recent experiences with your office I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I don't believe it.
Dear Rob,
I found this statement on your website regarding the recent Amazon investigation concerning their “print on demand” policy changes . . .
As with all complaints regarding a business, we have advised Amazon.com of these concerns and have asked the company to respond to us.— Office of the Attorney General
April 08, 2008 Press Release
Not true. No, not even close.
