Historically, all of the tax dollars in Washington State have been put into the big banks, such as Bank of America. Â Our money has generated reliable profits for the banks instead of funding people and projects in Washington State.
The big banks wrecked the economy and created a disaster for the people of Washington State and across the country. Â It’s unconscionable and unwise to continue to be dependent upon Bank of America and Chase Manhatton.Â
Let’s keep our money working for us in Washington State!
Thank you,
Linda Boyd
