Meeting Request of the Governor/SBA Administrator Comments

Yesterday, Small Business California sent out a press release asking the Governor to hold a meeting with SBA Administrator Karen Mills, the Office of the Comptroller, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve, the California Department of Financial Institutions and bank representatives.
