Community Banker Alert

Yesterday we learned that Senator-elect Bob Casey has been appointed to the Senate Banking Committee and we issued the attached press release today congratulating the senator-elect and pledging our support to work with him. Casey’s appointment to the committee continues a strong Pennsylvania tradition of having representation from our state on this important committee.

There is no doubt that Senator Santorum was a good friend and supporter of our industry and we are grateful for his service. As an association it is important that we work to strengthen our already strong relationship with the senator-elect. He has demonstrated a keen interest in affordable housing and economic revitalization and PACB is in a good position to work with Senator-elect Casey as he develops his ideas into concrete public policies.

As soon as we learn of appointments to the House Financial Services Committee, we will share this information with you. Due to his seniority on the committee, without question, Congressman Paul Kanjorski will be chairing an influential subcommittee of the committee.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself or Dave Transue.
