A State Bank - the only honest solution

Enact legislation to charter the State Bank of Oregon.

Why is this important?

For-profit investment banks and financial institutions do NOT have your best interest in mind. Their prime directive is to benefit shareholders - NOT customers of banking services. Aside from huge salaries and bonuses for CEOs and officers the manipulation of internal books and the creation of bank to bank deals shows that these massive financial corporations cannot be trusted.

We need a not-for-profit state bank that holds the concerns of the citizens to heart.

A state bank will serve and provide the financial services that people, small business and communities need in a transparent, efficient and honest fashion. A state bank will protect the state and its citizens from wanton fiduciary irresponsibility. A state bank will provide a stable platform for sustained growth and balanced prosperity. A state bank will serve the people not the shareholders.
