Robinson shifts on mortgage points and loan costs debate
Senator Robinson backs up front mortgage charges arguing points are needed to unlock the secondary market and boost home loan money.

He previously opposed lowering revolving credit rates, noting conditions from 1974 no longer apply, and suggested possible amendments to restrict loan sales timing.
