Mortgage News You Can Use Senator Seeks New Fannie Mae RegulatorBy JEFFREY McMURRAY WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senate Banking Chairman Richard Shelby said Saturday he will move to eliminate the regulator of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and replace it with a stronger, more independent federal watchdog for the home-loan giants. The Alabama Republican's announcement was made in an address prepared for an American Bankers Association conference in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He said he expects his Senate panel will take up the legislation next month. Shelby had been vague in the past about his desire to beef up regulation in response to accounting problems at the government-sponsored corporations. In his remarks Shelby said the current regulator, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, isn't capable of properly supervising them. "The agency was, in many regards, designed to fail in its mission," Shelby said. "We cannot tolerate inadequate and ineffective regulation of entities as important to the U.S. home mortgage market as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac." An advance copy of the lawmaker's speech was given to The Associated Press.
