Pérez, \u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/news/press_release?id=2641\">unveiled a “California Homeowner Bill of Rights,”\u003c/a> a package of six bills designed to ease the pain of homeowners caught in the state’s foreclosure crisis. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The six bills would require more rigorous documentation on the part of banks when foreclosing on properties; prohibit foreclosure when the homeowner has filed for a loan modification; impose a fee on lenders every time they file a notice of default; and in general do a lot of other stuff that no self-respecting financial leviathan would ever swallow without an army of lobbyists going to code red. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The bills, so far, have run into the most familiar of legislative hurdles: powerful lobbyists.\u003cbr>\n–John Myers, Political Editor, News10 Sacramento\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Still, a casual observer may have thought that with the backing of a rising Democratic star like Kamala Harris, plus the leadership of a Democratic caucus enjoying a large majority, taking on the banks — nobody’s favorite industry, these days — would be a slam dunk. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it turned out, more of an airball. Last month, as Harris was scheduled to testify before the California Assembly’s Senate Banking and Finance Committee, two of the bills were pulled by committee chairman Mike Eng of Monterey Park — a Democrat. Since then, in hopes of rescuing the plan, the leadership shuffled the package to a joint conference committee, which held hearings this afternoon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, to find out just what the hell happened, I turned to John Myers, \u003ca href=\"http://www.news10.net/capitol/\">Political Editor at News10 in Sacramento\u003c/a> and our former colleague here at KQED. Here’s his take: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So here you had a Democratic Attorney General, a big Democratic majority in both houses, and an issue that would seem to be can’t-miss with the public — holding the banks more accountable during the foreclosure process. So what happened?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS, NEWS 10 POLITICAL EDITOR\u003c/strong>: The bills, so far, have run into the most familiar of legislative hurdles: powerful lobbyists. The banking industry is a brawny fighter in Sacramento’s inside political game, and it’s pushed back in a big way on these bills — bills pushed not only by Harris, but also by Assembly Speaker John Perez and Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: What was the big impediment to passing the bills? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS\u003c/strong>: The major sticking point seems to be the banking industry’s assertion that the mortgage crisis was a one-time thing and thus permanent new rules (some which would codify the national settlement Harris helped negotiate) are an overreaction. A number of moderate, business-friendly Democrats in both houses seemed sympathetic to the banking industry’s position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Any indications by Harris on a willingness to compromise? And how bad does it look for her that she announced the thing with such fanfare and then couldn’t get it done? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS\u003c/strong>: Today’s hearing will be the first test since last month’s abrupt switch by Democratic leaders to a plan B strategy. I think the last few weeks have been eye-opening for Harris, whose experience is the courtroom and the settlement table…not the Capitol. I saw her before last month’s hearing, camped out in the hallway with staff trying to count votes. The roadblock seemed to surprise her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong> What’s the outlook now? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS\u003c/strong>:The bills were rescued by Perez and Steinberg by placing them in a joint conference committee. That way, there’s only one step (one committee) before floor votes, versus multiple committee votes where they could be picked off, one by one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: And how bad would this look for Democrats that they can’t get this passed? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS\u003c/strong> There’s still a lot of time left before the Legislature adjourns in August, so never say never.

I think the last few weeks have been eye-opening for Harris, whose experience is the courtroom and the settlement table…not the Capitol.
