Dear All,<div> Dan Hamberg and John Sakowicz will be at the meeting to protest the investing of county funds in WalMart, Coca Cola, Pepsico, Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, etc. They need support!! Can you come and bring as many people as possible, please. If enough members of the public show up and speak for three minutes about divesting, it will probably happen. Also, we should ask about the salary of the Financial Advisor. Apparently she gets as salary 1/3 to 1/2 of the interest the county makes though she does almost nothing. We need to ask about her salary and her work.</div>
<div> Finally, in the last section of the meeting, we can talk about the public bank. John Sakowicz, who is on the Retirement Investment Board, says there is enough money in the county finances to start a Mendo. County bank. He has identified several</div>
<div>sources, and I made a list from the material the Treasurer gave us, of investments in bad corporations or very low interest producing corporations that would provide over $20 million. And one source says that a bank can be started with $12=20 million. Moreover, the county can run the bank as DBA (Doing Business As) and count all the county resources as part of the bank. North Dakota does just that. After the Treasurer's meeting, John will meet with us about writing a business plan for the bank. Robin Sunbeam (Occupy Ukiah) has experience writing business plans and so do various others. Good?</div>
<div> See you on the 14th at 1 pm in Hall C.</div><div> Peace and blessings, Ellen </div>
