Hasegawa’s Washington State Investment Trust (WIT) HB 1320, aims to increase access to capital for small businesses, promote job growth, support student loans, infrastructure and economic development. It is modeled after the Bank of North Dakota (for an informative video, click in the box below), which has been in business since 1919 and provides student loans as well as lending, treasury, and banking services.</font></span></p>

<p>Thanks, Rob-</p>
<p>Actually the Ellen Brown article is already attached on our reading list, but good idea to keep bringing it up; I think also the idea of connecting the MYM campaign and State Bank as they did in Portland is a good one, ( does anyone know yet when the Great Unleashing anniversary date is, so we can get more planning done on the spring MYM teach-in? Lots of good ideas for that cooking now....)</p>
