Your local Tennessee banks have been working hard for the last year, and will continue to work hard in 2009 to make sure they protect the assets of their depositors and shareholders, provide capital for local projects, and provide jobs for the 30,000-plus Tennesseans who work in the financial industry. I hope my fellow Tennesseans will think twice before taking out their frustrations with Wall Street on a banker from Main Street.
