Let’s keep our money local and reinvest profits back into our communities through public banks

We can create solutions to our needs for public solutions to the housing crisis, for a Green New Deal and for health care. Those solutions can be facilitated by the creation of an Oregon Public Bank and/or municipal banks. Municipal banks help cities and towns stop wasting millions of taxpayer dollars on huge interest and fees payable to big out-of-state banks. We can enable profits from public banks to be reinvested in our local communities. As a result, public banks help us get more for our tax dollars and weather economic turbulence. The Oregon Public Bank Alliance will have legislation to ease the creation of municipal public banks in the next legislative session.
