EDITOR'S NOTE: It might seem unrelated, but the foreclosure crisis is very much related to BOTH the state budget problems and solutions.

Massachusetts is a power of sale state (non-judicial, but there is plenty of securitized meat in here for everyone).

EDITOR'S NOTE ON SAL D'ANNA CONTRIBUTION: Excellent submission Sal. I have a few thoughts in addition to what you have stated in your post. You make a great point about the distinction between void, voidable and invalid. They are three different things.
