Icba Petition in Support of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (S ICBA PETITION IN SUPPORT OF THE ECONOMIC GROWTH, REGULATORY RELIEF, AND CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT (S. 2155) Petition to Enact Community Bank Regulatory Relief Immediately We, the undersigned community bankers, directors, employees and customers from across the nation, respectfully urge the U.S. House of Representatives to immediately pass legislation to provide community banks with regulatory relief. We are strongly encouraged by Senate passage of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (S. 2155), a robust package of community bank regulatory relief measures that will strengthen economic growth, job creation, and consumer protection. The administration has noted that the president would sign S. 2155 into law if sent to him. Community bank regulatory relief has been debated exhaustively in each chamber over a period of years. Further delay or inaction could derail its current momentum. Without relief from costly and disproportionate regulatory burden, industry consolidation will continue apace and permanently change the financial services landscape to the detriment of consumers and small business borrowers. Regulatory relief for community banks will revitalize lending and investment in local economies across every congressional district. It will spur job creation and strengthen the economic recovery. We urge you to seize the moment that presents itself today and immediately pass community bank regulatory relief that can be signed into law by the president.

  • Debbie Reynolds & Singin' in the Rain at WHBF 2013
    Meet Legendary Actress, Comedienne, Singer, and Dancer And Join Us for a Very Special Park Stage Screening of Singin' in the Rain to Celebrate Reynolds' New Memoir, Unsinkable Including a Park Stage In-Conversation at 5:30 p.m., Book Soup In-Booth Signing at 6:15 p.m., followed by an Open-to the-Public Park Stage Screening at 7:00 p.m. For more information on schedule and start times, please visit WHBF.org for updates. About Debbie Reynolds and Unsinkable The definitive memoir by legendary actress and performer Debbie Reynolds—an entertaining and moving story of enduring friendships and unbreakable family bonds, of hitting bottom and rising to the top again—that offers a unique and deeply personal perspective on Hollywood and its elite, from the glory days of MGM to the present. In the closing pages of her 1988 autobiography Debbie: My Life , Debbie Reynolds wrote about finding her "brave, loyal, and loving" new husband. After two broken marriages, this third, she believed, was her lucky charm. But within a few years, Debbie discovered that he had betrayed her emotionally and financially, nearly destroying her life. Today, she writes, "When I read the optimistic ending of my last memoir now, I can't believe how naive I was when I wrote it. In Unsinkable, I look back at the many years since then, and share my memories of a film career that took me from the Miss Burbank Contest of 1948 to the work I did in 2012. To paraphrase Bette Davis: Fasten your seatbelts, I've had a bumpy ride." Unsinkable shines a spotlight on the resilient woman whose talent and passion for her work have endured for more than six decades.

The thought apparently was to highlight within an issue framework, not only the chaotic and contentious democratic contest, but to point out the insipid, petty and self-serving manner in which the debate has been conducted. The attack themes presumably were to be directed primarily at Mondale and Hart before the convention and at the nominee following the convention. The above described approach was discussed Thursday and Friday {5/31/84 & 6/1/84) during a meeting with myself, Ed Rollins, Lee Atwater and Jim Lake, and then myself and the Tuesday Team.

  • Cartooning Across the Pond the Big Reuben Wrap Up! This Past
    Cartooning Across the Pond The Big Reuben Wrap Up! This past Memorial Day weekend the National Cartoonists Society, had its annual Reuben Awards Weekend in not-so-sunny San Diego, CA… well, we did see some sun on the final day of the festivities, but for most of it we experienced what native San Diegans call “May Gray”. That hardly got us down, however. The weekend was a lot of fun. They usually are, but this one seemed to be turned up a notch. Most of the events took place at the beautiful Omni hotel right at the start of the famous Gaslamp District. Friday, May 23rd The ball got rolling Friday with a terrific slate of guest speakers. As NCS president, I have many things I have to do and oversee throughout the weekend, so I rarely get to catch many of the speakers, but I did get to see the majority of the first three of the day who I thought were great, and I heard nothing but raves about the others: Eddie Pittman- Freelancer, animator and creator of the online graphic novel Red’s Planet, Eddie shared his work from various Disney features like “Mulan” and “Lilo and Stich”, to TV’s “Phineas and Ferb”, to his excellent web comic (which was nominated for a divisional award). Chris Houghton- The second recipient of the Jay Kennedy Memorial Scholarship for cartooning, Chris is a great success story. He’s worked on several animated TV shows, comics, MAD and more, including his own comic Reed Gunther. Greg Evans- The Reuben Award-winning creator of the syndicated comic strip Luann, Greg shared stories of some of his early tries at syndication, and about his 29 years doing Luann.
