Hawaii group opposes BofA/Fleet merger
The Hawaii Fair Lending Coalition, a Hawaii-based
community group, hopes to delay or even derail the merger between FleetBoston
and Bank of America on the grounds that a key regulator overseeing the deal has
a Bank of America mortgage. HFLC opposes the merger based on the fact that Bank
of America hasn't fulfilled lending commitments to native
Hawaiians.Here's an AP article
in the Contra Costa
Times, and here's a different version of the
article
from the Boston
Globe. The AP article on the issue was picked
up by a couple
dozen news outlets nationally.
