Readers,
As a long-time satisfied Colfax Bremer Bank member, I have had response from my previous letter to the Messenger calling for a petition to have a public hearing concerning the proposed closing of our own Bremer Bank on Bremer Avenue, no less. I have made up a simple petition with space for 90 names & phone numbers on each sheet to be placed in public place, which I will try to do myself.
I have also inquired at the Messenger and have found out that a bank closing is supposed to have a public hearing. So we are looking into the proper procedure to have such hearing. Obviously, everyone who gets personal service at the Colfax Bremer Bank, as I have for my lifetime, does not want or need to have to drive out of town to Menomonie or Eau Claire to have that same service, knowing also that these locations do not KNOW our Colfax community! I still pay taxes on a house I own in Colfax and want to continue to bank in the same community.
Please take time to find the petition wherever they are placed (plan to have one at the Messenger as well) and sign if you are also so inclined.
Thank you for participating in our community.
Still a Colfaxite at heart!
Timothy Vettrus
