The SAFE/Boeing Mega-me Merger: Will DFPI Play The Fool?

   Our hands are tied... really?

😎 Please take a moment to read (or re-read!) the exchange with a fierce critic in yesterday's post [link], particularly with the comments starting here [Anonymous August 22, 2026 at 3:55 PM].

✅ It's been a long, long trek to arrive at these facts: 

  • 1) SAFE CU is a safe, sound, thriving Sacramento institution. 
  • 2) The SAFE membership did not request this merger.
  • 3) The SAFE Board and CEO are selling out the membership and the community for no measurable benefit. 
  • 4) A majority of all SAFE members will not vote to approve the merger as required by law. 
  • 5) At which time, the California CU regulator has the legal authority to approve the merger - regardless of the vote.  
  • 6) Equally, the California CU regulator has the legal authority to deny the merger, regardless of the vote; but has never done so with past merger proposals.  

   We have arrived at the test question (at last!):  Given these facts, what is the duty of the State to all parties involved with the SAFE/Boeing merger proposal? Who's interests should be protected?

 Be sure to show your work...!

  1. If we're counting on the folks of Sacramento to 'Do the Right Thing' we will be sorely disappointed ... JMO
