Subject: Opposition to changes in CRA
As a CDC that attempts to undertake community development in a depressed,
inner city neighborhood, we understand the need to have all possible
tools to bring reinvestment to this community. We oppose any change
in the CRA rules that would allow banks above $250 million to avoid
their responsibility to assist in reinvestment in communities that
provide resources for those banks. Please continue the the threshold
that exists.
