U.S. Rep. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), a co-sponsor of H.R. 3880 legislation to raise the member business lending cap, recently reiterated his support for the increase to the Credit Union Association of New Mexico.
"We've got to take a smart approach to regulation that goes after what the problems are. We shouldn't blame or hold accountable credit unions and community banks for some of the problems Wall Street banks created," Heinrich said. "We need to come up with policies that treat small community institutions differently than national institutions. That is the smart and correct approach to regulation."
Heinrich also recently wrote a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer urging them to raise the cap on credit union business lending from 12.25% to 25% of total assets.
