As one concerned about appropriate oversight of our banking industry,
I ask
you to reconsider acting on the proposed changes to the Community
Reinvestment Act regulations. I am a strong believer in citizen
participation and citizen oversight regarding local banking in order
to
ensure fair and equitable service to all our citizens. These banks
have a
public obligation to uphold and it is essential that we be permitted
to
scrutinize banking behavior on behalf of our communities. Please
do not do
anything to reverse these critical relationships between local banks
and
their communities and local economies.
