TOP STORY TODAY...MARCH 25, 2008 Today, my wife and I were invited to participate in an intimate roundtable discussion with Presidential Nominee John McCain. McCain focused his time on the economic crisis facing the United States. He is calling on all mortgage lenders to offer assistance to their customers, similar to GMC's automobile financing/interest adjustment following 9/11. At the session, moderated by McCain Co-Chair Meg Whitman (CEO of eBay), business owners were invited to comment on their financial needs, government aid and workers comp issues.
