Listen "A Taxing Week in Washington"
Episode Synopsis
Glen recaps an action-packed Government Affairs Conference, featuring our annual interview with America's Credit Unions' Economics Team on the coming year's outlook. An "existential threat" to the industry's income tax exemption headlined a packed agenda, but the CFPB, NCUA and interchange legislation were also on the menu- not to mention tariff whiplash and market uncertainty.
