Motion passes! The LA Charter Reform Commission approved a clarification aligning the City Charter with state law, the California Public Banking Act (AB 857), so LA has a path to pursue a public bank if it chooses. Thanks to Chair Raymond Meza & Commissioner Carla Fuentes.

Today, the Trump family’s crypto company applied for a banking charter.
The application should be denied, but there’s realistically no way Trump-appointed regulators will do that. This charter will help the president profit from the recently passed stablecoin law.

Just to be clear, it's a major conflict of interest for the president.

That would open up new ways to funnel money to Trump, and it would be a *huge* conflict of interest.
