Subject: Community Reinvestment - RIN 3064-AC50
I strongly oppose the proposed rule changes in the Community
Reinvestment Act (RIN 3064-AC50). This action will do harm to rural
communities. : Working in the lowest-income county of Tennessee, we have
worked hard to help people leave behind dependency on federal subsidies,
and start businesses and employment in the marketplace. This change will
remove a key source of funding for helping rural middle class and poor
people become more independent of government subsidy. Please do not gut
the CRA at the expense of rural communities!
