We feel there is a responsibility on the part of the financial institutions. As a committee here, it's looking at ways to have community reinvestment, and to have that be a formalized process whereby banks and credit unions have a choice to, hopefully, come back to communities and make sure the services are available, and to find other ways of being a part of the community. Financial institutions don't operate in a vacuum. They were once a part of the community and should be once again.
