Subject: CRA Reduction Request
FDIC Staff:
For over 20 years I have worked in the community and economic develop
discipline. One of the most important pieces of legislation to every be
passed and supported nationally were the CRA requirements. Lenders receive
investments, even though sometimes they are small, and make money off of the
investment or they would not be in business. Without CRA most (not all, but
most) would not look for opportunities to reinvest in the community.
Please do not let the reduction in CRA requirements take place.
