I oppose the FDIC's proposal to allow banks with assets above $250
million to be examined as small banks under the Community Reinvestment
Act. This policy would reduce lending, investments and services in
low-income communities such as those in which I work. There are already
too few organizations willing to invest in areas that are economically
depressed, and without the CRA, we would lose even more.
