Otting Jelena McWilliams Comptroller of the Currency Chairman Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 400 7th Street, SW 550 17th Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20219 Washington D.C. 20429 Dear Chairman Powell, Comptroller Otting, and Chairman McWilliams: A coalition of mayors representing a cross-section of the United States is writing to express our serious concern about the Office of the Comptroller of Currency’s (OCC) Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) regarding the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). As local leaders, we see firsthand how capital flows to certain communities while disinvestment inhibits opportunity in others. For forty years, the Community Reinvestment Act has helped to ensure more equitable credit access to grow small businesses, invest in affordable housing, and expand overall economic output. The CRA was a response to “redlining” that used access to capital as a means to discriminate against people of color, immigrants, and lower-income communities. The effect was a concentration of poverty, a widening of the wealth cap, and the entire United States being farther away from reaching its full potential. Due to CRA requirements, banks have made almost two trillion in community development loans since 1996, according to the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. Yet that progress and the flow of capital into disadvantaged communities could be at risk. As mayors, our work to promote economic opportunity is judged by real results, and the Community Reinvestment Act is an essential tool in the fight for equity and prosperity in every community.

During the 2012 session, the Committee reported significant legislation that was later enacted into law to change the primary election date from September 11, 2012 to September 13, 2012. Under the New York State Election Law the 2012 fall primary election was scheduled for September 11, 2012. This legislation recognized and respected the significance of the anniversary of September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks by rescheduling the 2012 fall primary for September 13, 2012. The Committee also enacted legislation to allow for the continued use of lever voting machines for school districts, villages and special districts in their respective local elections until December 31, 2014. Other legislative initiatives which the Committee reported and the Assembly passed include: ensuring the security of lever voting machines used in village elections; requiring voting material to be provided in Russian; prohibiting certain candidates for public office from serving as poll watchers; requiring absentee ballot applications for village elections to conform to state board of election absentee ballot requirements; providing that absentee ballots for all elections shall be made available in Braille upon the request of a blind or visually impaired voter; and amending deadlines to facilitate timely transmission of ballots to overseas military voters for primary and general elections.
