Florida county punishes BofA for failing homeowners

Broward County in Florida on Tuesday blocked Bank of America from helping to finance a downtown Fort Lauderdale courthouse, with one gutsy commissioner, Lois Wexler, saying, "I don't think that bad behavior should be rewarded," according to SunSentinel.com
