Some just won’t give in to fraud!

An Essex County official is boycotting Bank of America and calling on government agencies across the nation to follow suit to protest the firm’s ties to a controversial mortgage-recording network.

“We want to hit Bank of America in the pocketbook to send a message that’s loud and clear,” said Southern Essex County Register of Deeds John O’Brien, who’s taking his office’s business from Bank of America to locally owned Century Bank.
