They explore Egolf's bill to take New Mexico's $1.4 billion dollar appropriations account and move that money in a safe and responsible way from the large national banks and put it into community banks that are based here in New Mexico which would have a beneficial effect on the New Mexico economy and provide loans to New Mexico citizens and businesses. This is an extremely popular local application of the Move Your Money national movement, see www.MoveYourMoney.info.
