A Public Bank for Washington? Learn All About It
By Stoney Bird and Ruth Fruland, co-chairs LWVWA Public Bank Committee.
You’ve seen articles in The Voter about public banks, the Public Bank Committee, and how the League effort to support a public bank in Washington State fits the LWV of Washington privatization position. But we suspect that most of our League members are still unsure what a public bank actually is.
To learn more, plan to attend the Public Bank 101 workshop on Thursday, January 7, 2021, at 6:30 p.m., where you’ll learn about:
- How a public bank would differ from private sector banks.
- What a difference a public bank could make in Washington State revenues and debts.
- How you can help support a public bank during the upcoming legislative session and beyond.
- Other resources for information.
