Scott Baker makes an excellent presentation on how to use existing government funding to create a public bank in Philadelphia. This event, sponsored by The Pennsylvania Project, was held on Saturday, October 12 at The Arch Street United Methodist Church and was one of many events designed to build broad support for public banking.

This video was filmed by Rudy and Kathy Avizius, End The Illusion Films.
