A Baltimore homeowner who fell behind on her mortgage payments after her property taxes unexpectedly spiked protested in an attention-grabbing way this week: She went on a hunger strike.
Lauren Rymer started just after 7 a.m. Monday and spent an empty-stomach day camped out in Annapolis, trying to get an audience with Gov. Martin O'Malley and talking to passersby who wanted to share their stories of economic woe.
By the time she ate something at 5 p.m. Tuesday, she'd had a foreclosure alternative offered to her by the state housing department, talked to someone from O'Malley's office about the tax problem and given interviews to a bevvy of media from WBAL to the Huffington Post to MSNBC about her hope that elected officials will do more to help Americans avoid foreclosure.
