President of Solari, Inc., publisher of the Solari Report,
and managing member of Solari Investment Screens, LLC.
This month Catherine was joined by world-renowned banking expert Richard A. Werner for our legislative briefing. The two followed up on their recent conversation about “Organizing a Sovereign State Bank,” helping legislators understand why one or more sovereign state banks are an excellent idea. They also answered attendees’ questions about some of the nuts and bolts involved in establishing such a bank. Currently, the only sovereign state bank in the U.S. is the century-old Bank of North Dakota, which offers a superlative role model for other states.
An edited version of that presentation is now available for Solari Report subscribers; to protect the confidentiality of those who attended, it includes only the Solari side of the briefing. We encourage our subscribers to share it with their state officials.
