Senator Warren chides US Treasury for slow progress in tackling racial discrimination
WASHINGTON -U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the Treasury Department this week to address racial discrimination in the U.S. tax and banking systems more swiftly by advancing reforms proposed by an advisory board set up in December 2022.
Warren said the recommendations would improve economic conditions for communities that face barriers to building equity and assuring financial security for their families, and urged Yellen to implement them swiftly. “The Treasury Department putting equity at the center of policy implementation led to the most equitable economic recovery on record, and we continue to prioritize these efforts,” a spokesperson said.
