Entrepreneurs in rural areas count on local credit unions to access capital to launch their businesses. Durbin-Marshall would make it harder for those institutions to continue that vital work while putting at risk perks like credit card rewards. Small businesses need policies that expand opportunity. Durbin-Marshall does the opposite. missoulian.com/opinion/lette…
