Movement To Use Local Government Funds Against Big Banks Gains Momentum

—On March 19, homeowners facing foreclosure petitioned Brockton, Mass., to move its money out of Bank of America Corp., BAC +1.54% J.P. Morgan Chase JPM +0.82% & Co., and other big banks that activists contend refuse to negotiate fair loan modifications. Banks have said those accusations are groundless.
