THE BILL: Nineteen savings and loan associations...
THE BILL: Nineteen savings and loan associations in Orange County have failed since 1985 (D5), and some have cost taxpayers a bundle in deposit insurance payouts (above). . . . So far, those costs have reached an estimated $4.55 billion in Orange County alone, and they are bound to skyrocket soon. Observers estimate that future bailout costs could reach $2.5 billion for just one S&L--Charles; Keating Jr.’s infamous Lincoln Savings & Loan in Irvine (A4). . . . Regulators are trying to sell Lincoln Savings, but so far no takers.
