The “The
Community Reinvestment Act is a critical motivator for the banks
that work
with our non-profit supportive housing organization.
I oppose any increase to the threshold of what is considered to
be a small bank. The proposed FDIC rule would exempt many of our
community’s
critical partners from the effective and productive requirements
currently in place. I urge the FDIC to withdraw its proposed rule.”
