Other Information: .Homeowners visiting their government offices react with disgust when they see CAI mugs, trinkets, and plaques. One told a lawmaker Dan Hauser, that he should remove the many CAI plaques from his office walls.
Daum also also barters lobbying favors with other lobbyists e.g. Ron Kingston from the California Association of Realtors.
Daum was hired in the early nineties by CAI/CLAC after California advocates went up to Sacramento and began exposing some of the CAI lawyers and the anti-homeowner laws they were getting passed.
One of the first bills he attempted to push for CAI was AB1545 by ex-assembly member Julie Bornstein. It would have made homeowner association assessment liens go before the first trust deed. Banks said they would not risk giving mortgage loans if this bill became law.
CAI/CLAC promoted this bill aggressively. CAI managers inserted CAI/CLAC messages into homeowner dues billings urging them to ask politicians to vote for AB 1545.
CAI/CLAC also misrepresented the bill. They told the homeowners the bill would require banks to pay dues on foreclosed homes. They did not tell them the bill would give assessments priority over mortgages..
California advocates and banks, with the help of some legislative consultants in the background, defeated the bill and Daum's two year blizzard of deceptive mailings became yet another page in the ugly history of the homeowner association collection lawyers
CAI vendors and allied boards members ( the latter use homeowners' maintenance dues) , finance Daum and the politicians who work to promote the collection lawyers' agenda.
