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

Our community has seen first hand the results of bank investment which would not have happened without CRA, and this includes activities by banks who would be exempt under the new rules.
