Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) introduced legislation Tuesday that "would give rural counties in Kentucky a voice when the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, has incorrectly labeled them as 'non-rural'," McConnell said in a speech.
"My bill would allow counties that have been improperly designated as ‘non-rural’ to petition the CFPB with additional local information to reconsider their status in order to ensure that rural communities, such as those in Eastern Kentucky, have the access to credit they need to grow their economy," McConnell said. Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.) introduced the same legislation in the House. (Read more)
