Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton this week proposed specific ways she would ease the regulatory burden on small financial institutions, including greater flexibility in exam schedules.

Clinton has talked several times about the need to remove red tape for small financial institutions, but her campaign this week provided additional details about what that effort would entail. 

"While Wall Street's reckless risk-taking created a global financial crisis, community banks and credit unions were working to help ordinary Americans and Main Street get ahead," the campaign said in a fact sheet.
