00:26:10	Walt McRee:	my understanding is that it was many decades ago due
00:26:25	Angela Merkert:	New issues with Zoom--camera and audio frozen.  We are pre-filing today with 2 pieces of legislation--one into each chamber.  We have 4 sponsors, co-sponsors.  The 2024 session which is 30 days, opens at noon next Tuesday.  It will be intense on the schedule to get through 2 committees/chamber and the to the House and Senate floor votes.  But we're moving it forward.  We have gone deeper in the legislation in detailing more of the capitalization.  That has taken time to work through finer details--all good.

00:49:16	Jeff Sac ca:	Looks good
00:56:28	Scott Baker - NYC:	It’s a federal congressional issue, not an FDIC choice alone to make.
00:57:41	Scott Baker - NYC:	Your local government has to change the rules so a PB doesn’t have to have FDIC insurance. The FDIC can’t just drop the requirement itself.
00:59:21	Patrick Carroll, CA:	There is private insurance for credit union deposits. The company is called ASI
00:59:37	Scott Baker - NYC:	The state of North Dakota self-insures as a DBA - Doing Business As for the BND.
01:00:10	Patrick Carroll, CA:	Private credit union insurance https://www.americanshare.com/
01:00:17	Scott Baker - NYC:	Taxes back up the BND, far More than the FDIC cap and more reliable too.
01:01:32	Angela Merkert:	FDIC does not have the capacity to back up a great %age of FDIC insured funds.
01:01:38	john St Pete, FL:	The fdic insured all depositors with 3 bank failures this year. 3 of the biggest 4 bank failures ever in the US

00:28:23	Cimbria, PBI - CNY:	How is this not a revolving loan fund?
00:28:56	Suzanne O'Keeffe - PBI, MD:	It’s a revolving loan fund at this point
00:36:30	Dr. Ruth Fruland:	What Suzanne said!
00:45:27	Peter Winslow - Philadelphia, PA:	The private/public partnership (PPP) - “independent” nurturing the local financial ecosystem - structure may help to put wind in our sails for Philadelphia.  The NJ report can be helpful for our messaging (despite its deficiencies from our perspective).
00:52:23	Cimbria, PBI - CNY:	If there's someone who wants to speak up who hasn't contributed please raise your hand. Introduce yourself if you're new!
00:57:41	Angela Merkert:	AFLEP (NM) has done multiple financial plans and we consistently show being in the black by end of the 2nd year of operation.  WIth a 7 year projection. This work has been reviewed by auditors and our assumptions affirmed.
00:59:06	Nichoe Lichen, NM (PBI Advisor):	Let's hear from New Mexico
00:59:33	Angela Merkert:	We are addressing segments of the NM bank charter requirements that don't work for a state bank within the PB legislation.  Getting all of those major questions dealt with up front.  In consultation with the division that charters banks and the state treasurer, along with Gov staff.
01:15:41	Mike Beilstein, Marge Stevens-Corvallis OR:	I am concerned about the "white moderate" influence on the New Jersey document. The white moderate concept was addressed by Martin Luther King in his letter from the Birmingham jail. I describes a position of an overly slow and cautious approach to justice issues which need immediate attention. Public banking could be seen as a social justice issue whose time has come, and should not be delayed by too moderate approaches.
01:19:09	Suzanne O'Keeffe - PBI, MD:	Reacted to "I am concerned about..." with ❤️
01:20:29	Kerry Allen:	Reacted to "I am concerned about..." with ❤️
