I strongly oppose the proposed rule changes in the Community
Reinvestment Act (RIN 3064-AC50). This action will do harm to rural
communities. : TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT NEWS ABOUT THE FDIC AND THE ACTIONS THEY ARE
ABOUT TO TAKE. I'AM WRITING TO GIVE MY
FORMAL PROTEST ON THE ISSUE. I WORK AT THE COMMUNITY ACTION COUNCIL OF
SOUTH TEXAS
I 'AM A RECEPTIONIST AT THE FRONT DESK AND I (ONE OF MANY) CAN NOT BEGIN
TO TELL YOU HOW BADLY THIS WILL EFFECT THE LOCAL COMMUNTIY. I ANSWER
PHONES ALL DAY AND ABOUT 70% OF THEM ARE PEOPLE WHO NEED SOME KIND OF
FINANCIAL ASSITANCE EITHER ELECTRICAL, HOUSING, MEDICAL OR CHILDHOOD
SERVICES. THE POINT OF THE MATTER IS THAT; WITH EVERYTHING ELSE GOING UP
IN PRICE THE COST OF LIVING HAS BECOME TO EXPENSIVE FOR THESE FAMILIES
OF 3, 4, SOMTIMES 5 CHILDREN. I PERSONALLY DONT USE THESE FACILITIES,
BUT ALOT OF MY FRIENDS AND THEIR FAMILIES DO. I ASK OF YOU, PLEASE
RECONSIDER YOUR ACTION WITH ALL THE HURRICANES AND TERRORISTS, WE DONT
NEED ANYMORE BAD NEWS.
