I missed this at the time, but if it stands, it would be terrifying: essentially MA is looking to nullify some subprime loans. Barring the loans going forward could be a reasonable decision, but retroactively voiding them seems to miss the point that the borrower got a house. I would have expected better from a blue state. Pray this gets overturned before CA/FL/NV governments begin thinking about the votes to be had.
