Senate Bank Deregulation Bill Is a Trojan Horse, Says Ross Lecturer

Senators will soon vote on a compromise banking reform bill that brings community banks some regulatory relief and includes some consumer protections.

Kress is a lecturer of business law and former attorney at the Federal Reserve’s Banking Regulation & Policy Group.
