On September 13th BankingOnNewMexico rolled out a new Public Banking campaign at the Fiesta Desfile de la Gente (Historical / Hysterical parade). Fiestas have been celebrated in Santa Fe for 301 years.
This beautiful ’59 Chevy Truck helped introduce many thousands of celebrants to Public Banking, most of whom have a strong sense of cultural identity and love vintage vehicles!
We received many questions about the truck and Public Banking. Public Bank volunteers distributed Public Banking stickers to many eager children along the long, densely packed parade route.
The City of Santa Fe is exploring the feasibility of a Public Bank so that the Public’s funds may be more professionally managed. Study results will be made public by December of this year. A legal opinion has been completed and will be released to the public within the next few weeks.
