Summary: California's Roving Politicians: John Garamendi's Role America's Home Foreclosure and Homeless Crisis What happened to John Garamendi's promise to homeowners that he'd enforce insurance laws and investigate complaints of homeowners association insurance fraud? Other Information: John Garamendi called AHRC News Services before he won election to a second term as the California Insurance Commissioner. He was running for elections and needed all the media coverage and homeowners votes he could get. In the middle of a conversation he said Bill Clinton was on the phone and be would call back after speaking to Mr. Clinton. (Clinton helped him with his reelection campaign.) He called back and gave the AHRC staff a private email address and Fax number to send the many reports of insurance fraud by homeowner association lawyers and manager, and, insurance companies and his "friend" California Senate Insurance Chair Jackie Speier (D) had failed to investigate. He promised to investigate them if he was elected. Both he and his campaign staffer Christine Lally were sent information. Garamendi was elected. When AHRC attempted to do a followup story on the investigation his secretary Vickie Ortiz Vales asked that the complaints to be again sent to their private Fax number and email address at the California Department of Insurance. His campaign staffer Christine Lally asked for the information to he sent to her private email as well so she could again get it to him. John Garamendi, Christine Lally and Vickie Ortiz ignored all subsequent followup calls and emails. John Garamendi, is one of many veteran California politicians who continue to go from one public office (California voters term limits initiative keep fortunately term them out of office) public office to another helping pass foreclosure enabling homeowner association laws or failing to enforce laws and protect homeowners from homeowner association fraud and foreclosure.
