  • Initial MBTA Service Pilot Proposal
    November 4, 2019 To: Massachusetts department of Transportation Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority [email protected] cc: Senator Jason Lewis Representative Paul Brodeur Representative Donald H. Wong Thank you for the opportunity to submit the Town of Wakefield’s MBTA pilot proposals. Wakefield is fortunate to be serviced by two commuter rail stops (Wakefield Station and Greenwood, via the Haverhill line) and two bus routes (136 and 137). As indicated by your recent passenger counts, hundreds of individuals use Wakefield’s MBTA service each day. The ideas proposed are the direct result of public input. To determine what adjustments to propose, we gained feedback from individuals via the attached survey. The survey was available electronically, and physical copies were available at our library. It was open for the entire month of August 2019. There were 295 responses, 98 percent of whom were Wakefield residents. A majority of respondents (95%) utilized the MBTA during weekdays and 35 percent rode on weekends. Residents also provided feedback during Town Councilors’ office hours and via email with these representatives. Wakefield’s Zoning Board is currently deliberating on petitions that would add 491 residential units throughout town. Several large developments would be located steps from the Greenwood and Wakefield commuter rail stations, likely drawing tenants specifically looking to use the MBTA. Others are in close proximity to, or directly on, current bus routes. It is critical that we prepare for these public‐transit‐ oriented residents. According to our research, 62 percent of respondents take a non‐preferred form of transportation to their destinations (walking, taxi, Uber) at least once per month because the MBTA schedule isn’t convenient.

Johnson, Secretary Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 20th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20551 Via email at [email protected] RE: FDIC RIN 3064-AD95, FDIC RIN 3064-AD96, and FDIC RIN 3064-AD97 Dear Mr. Feldman and Ms. Johnson: I am a member of the board of directors of BayCoast Bank (the "Bank") and appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations proposed Basel III Notices of Proposed Rulemaking issued in June 2012 requiring all banking organizations to comply with Basel III pronouncements and standardized approach NPR. For the following reasons, I believe that it is my responsibility as a director to let you know that I believe the implementation of this requirement will do great damage not only to our bank, but also to all similar community banks in the country. In addition, it will adversely affect the ability of such banks to provide needed services and products to local people and businesses. At a time when the politics of the moment is correctly focusing on facilitating programs and other methods of assistance for small businesses such as our bank and, more importantly, for our customers, it is unfortunate that this requirement is currently under serious consideration. Bay Coast Bank is a Massachusetts chartered bank established in 1851 that offers a variety of financial services to individuals and businesses through fifteen offices in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

  • The People's Capital: the Politics of Popular Wealth In
    The People’s Capital: The Politics of Popular Wealth in the Gilded Age By Robert Gabriel Nelson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair Professor Caitlin Rosenthal Professor David Henkin Professor Chrisopher Tomlins Spring 2019 1 Abstract The People’s Capital: The Politics of Popular Wealth in the Gilded Age by Robert Gabriel Nelson Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair The proliferation of financial practices and institutions throughout the mass of American society throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth century produced a wide range of social effects. From changing discourses about racial progress and equality to aspirations for integrating rebellious workers into a system of financial-industrial capitalism, anxieties about financial panics to the possibilities of worker-owned cooperatives, popular engagement with the financial apparatus became the very stuff of American life. This dissertation looks at a wide range of primary sources— political pamphlets, bank statements, cooperative prospectuses, reform newspapers, trade journals, novels, and congressional testimony—to link changes in the form and nature of popular wealth to the development of mass politics. As the scattered but substantial wealth of the American working classes began to congeal in institutional forms, a wide variety of historical actors struggled over what to do with the people’s capital. i Acknowledgments As is the case with all dissertations, “The People’s Capital” reflects the hard work, attention, and dedication of many individuals.

  • The Mutual Savings Bank Crisis
    Chapter 6 TheThe MutualMutual SavingsSavings BankBank CrisisCrisis Introduction The first major crisis the FDIC had to confront in the 1980s was the threatened insol- vency of a large number of mutual savings banks (MSBs). Historically, state laws had re- stricted these thrift institutions to investing in long-term, fixed-rate assets; and traditionally, the majority of MSB liabilities were in passbook savings accounts paying a low rate of in- terest. Until the 1970s, this manner of operating had enabled mutual savings banks to pros- per throughout most of their history. However, in the 1970s the combined forces of rising interest rates, increased competition for deposits, and legal restrictions on diversifying the asset side of the balance sheet quickly overwhelmed many thrift institutions. During the first three years of the 1980s the mutual savings bank industry sustained operating losses of nearly $3.3 billion, an amount equivalent to more than 28 percent of the industrys general reserves at year-end 1980. Losses at some individual MSBs were even higher, and these in- stitutions experienced a rapid depletion of capital. This chapter describes the relatively unique development and history of mutual savings banks in the United States and the causes of the crisis that peaked in the early 1980s; it also discusses the regulatory and congres- sional responses to the problem. Background Mutual savings banks in the United States date to 1816, when the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society began operations on a voluntary basis and the Provident Institution for Sav- ings in Boston was granted the first savings bank charter.1 Originally MSBs were organized to help the working and lower classes by providing a safe place where the small saver, then shunned by commercial banks, could deposit money and earn interest.
