Dodd-Frank

Back in 2010 Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) said Dodd-Frank "would strengthen Montana's community banks and credit unions." He called it "a win for Main Street." That was 2010. Let's fast forward to 2018. Now, Sen. Jon Tester is admitting that the very regulations he passed into law have forced Montana companies out of business.

Since the passage of Dodd-Frank, the number of state chartered banks in Montana has fallen from 64 to 44 – over a 31 percent decline

Tester admits that legislation he supported has forced Montana businesses to shut down. This, as CNN lists the Montana US Senate race in the top 10 list of Senate seats most likely to switch parties.
