I am so proud to be a citizen of Santa Fe, and on the cutting edge of a new movement — to harness the mighty power of finance to benefit all of our citizens, instead of padding Wall Street’s bottom line. An independent study has concluded that a publicly owned city bank could reduce the city of Santa Fe’s total debt by almost $5 million over the next five years and could yield additional revenues of $10.5 million over the same time frame. This is not a pie-in-the-sky idea — North Dakota has had a tremendously successful state-owned bank for the last 100 years. We can do it here in Santa Fe, too. Let’s take control of our own economy.
