So, ask what you make your question brief and say for comments for another time. Where are the biggest supporters in this field? It ain't the corporations I think that. I'm the people. This is an extremely populist idea right now. And I've been trying, like crazy, to keep this at mom parties in the machine because it isn't on parties. This is just smart, good, good, and the bank is already in the color because they weren't cooperatively together with the community banks. And the way that they do it is they enter into participation with other, you know, beyond just the simple banking relationship. They ask pure lenders, say you're a farmer and you need $5 billion to keep your farm to get through to harvest where then you collect all your revenues. The farmer will need to get that line of credit from a community bank. Let's say the community bank either is enabled through their charter to lend them to full $5 million. Maybe they'll only want to do $2 or $3 million. That community bank will go into the bank, North Dakota, who will participate together to make sure that the farmer gets the $5 million they need to survive. So the farmer is happy, the community banks have me, and the bank of North Dakota is happy because they're all making money and the farmer is getting the credit that they need. As far as what the major objections are, the constitutional question, the access to capital, and the third one, which is risk. So in any banking scenario, there's always risk. You just can't avoid that. Even if in our best interests as a certain modelist, you know, risk in our money, sitting in Bank of America, we've all seen what the Bank of America is going to have. Although I'm sure the bill could bail down, so maybe the debtor too big to bail concept. But most banks have, well, Bank, you required to have a low cost reserve. So it's very unlikely that all your loans are going to fail at one any given time, otherwise we have no fees. What they do is, you know, it works statistically. You keep us approved amount at low cost reserves. But the second point is that it's backed by the full faith and credit of the state. So the bank really technically can't fail because it always has taxing authority to go back to race the necessary funds to back in. Now I'm not saying that that's a popular solution, and the fact that you have free statewide electives to make sure that that doesn't happen because they want to get reelected. So they will follow in the bank. The Washington investment trust will be required to follow prudent banking standards. And it will be regularly audited or examined by the department of financial institutions to make sure that they are following those standards. I have just a question. Hi, thank you, Representative, for coming to Port Townsend today. I know it's fairly busy time for you. My name is Ruth Gordon. I'm the Jefferson County clerk and as a member of Waco, the Treasures are my colleagues. And I understand that my colleagues, the Treasures are very nervous about this idea. I also would like to let people know that Jim McIntyre when he was a revotent, was a very strong voice for a state income tax. He's not necessarily the only thing I mean. So I'm wondering, I think it makes better legislation than everybody works their difference in the sound. And I would like you to articulate for me how you see working together with these folks who are responsible for not losing our public money. How you see this working for them right now, they're not going to be that happy about this. I just like to hear the Treasures everywhere. All of this. Yeah, how can you address their concerns in this bill? Well, when we put the task force together, we tried to make sure there was broad representation. And Tess White remember Lloyd Paragu, who is the county assessor right now. But in past lives, he had been a county auditor and Seattle City treasured for many years. Back in the day, back in the 80s, I guess it was. And as the City of Seattle treasured, he won the National Award as the best treasure in the country. Lloyd Paragu back in the day when he was a Seattle City treasured, tried to create a public bank for the City of Seattle. And he was signing by the Federal Reserve, who refused to give him a rally offer. Something as simple as that. So Lloyd testified before the Senate Committee on Financial Solutions housing insurance. And it's in full support of this bill. And you can go to his, see his testimony if you go to my legislative website. And I featured his testimony as well in the Senate hearing on my website. And then I featured a separate testimony from another task force member, Gerald Roppaus, who's also about 40 years of banking experience. And I think pretty well lays out the responses to the treasured's concerns. Thank you. My question is, what do you think is the best thing we can do to help you get this passed? Thanks for asking that question. This is the call to action here now, right? Let's go down to the finish line. So I appreciate that you were handing out that hotline number. But that's not necessarily the best way to get in touch with your legislature. Because it goes to a bank and it may not necessarily get looked at for a while, which is too late for the deadline to be facing. The best thing to do is actually have a center heart rover represents here. And I notice that he signed onto the Senate bill. If you can ask him to ask the committee people to exact the bill out of committee, that would be very helpful. Senator Hart, the bill has a lot of credibility in the Senate. And I think that his ask may add way. My own senator, my greater princess, who is the vice chair of the committee, has asked for it to. So I am asking him to exact the bill out of committee. Exact means take executive action on the bill. That means it's moving it out of the committee and into the Senate rules for the committee. It will run possible. Who are we asking? Yes, just call Senator Hart wrote, but it doesn't occur to all the committee members as well, although they don't represent you, so you're not a constituent of them. So it's best to contact your own representative, including your House members. I'm going to have one more way. This evening, I'm going to post on signon.org in petition. This petition will have it go directly to Senator Hart wrote, if you can go on sign on it every 24 hours, he's going to get a batch of emails saying, we want you to exact this out of committee. That's what you're saying. And be sure to thank Senator Hart for the most fun screen bill. And thank him for helping move your bill into the top of the committee. Thank you. Thank you.
