ABA Hits Credit Unions in New Radio Ad

With federal credit unions gathering in Washington, D.C., this week to lobby for their agenda on Capitol Hill, ABA is running a radio ad emphasizing the need to end the credit unions’ outdated tax subsidy. ABA President and CEO Frank Keating will be heard during drive time on WTOP, the most-listened-to station in the D.C. metropolitan area.

“Government data show that just one percent of [credit union] home loans went to low-income borrowers,” Keating says. “For that, credit unions avoided $2 billion in taxes. Ask Congress why taxpayers should give credit unions $2 billion for doing just one percent of their job."--- ABA Daily Newsbytes
