Subject: Rural Reinvestment Act
As both a person raised and educated in rural America and a professional
who studies rural life from a rural sociology perspective, I believe
that the Rural Reinvestment Act provides a source of financial capital
vital to the economic prosperity of rural areas. While there is,
no doubt, some cost to banks to comply, there are gains for the business
and non-profit sectors of local communities. Their enterprises provide
payrolls and multiple economic benefits to those living and working
in rural areas...and therefore to our nation.
I urge you to continue implementing the act as is.
