It appears regulators are finally getting the message that community banks play a very important role in the health of local economies.  I think they also realize the Great Recession was not caused by community banks. 

Braun

The mistake Ryan Braun made was not fessing up to everything when the initial investigation too place a year ago.  I just hope people can forgive and forget.  Everyone makes mistakes.  As long as he owns up to his mistakes, I will still support him.

It is true that interest rates have jumped about 1% over the past couple of months.  But I don't think the Fed is going to risk rates moving up too rapidly due to the impact that would have on a recovering economy.
