To the Editor:

Public banking is worth looking into.

North Dakota has their own bank and their unemployment rate is 3 percent. All of their banks stayed up and running well during the 2008 plummet on Wall Street.

North Dakota’s revenue is invested in their state and local business communities. Their state-run bank partners with their private banks and they all have a nice tidy return.

Maine’s revenue is shipped out to Wall Street.

Wouldn’t looking into a state-run bank to keep our money for ourselves be worth considering?
