FLEET BANK BOYCOTT?

 We've received E-Mail from a number of individuals this week,
angry about the proposed political patronage move of thousands of
state jobs to Kingston, Pataki's home turf. Some people, both on
and offline, believe that, should the move be given the go-ahead,
the Capital Region should no longer lend (no pun intended) its
support to Fleet Bank (which holds the contract connected to the
jobs move), including support on a personal, governmental, and
corporate/business level. 

 One reader asked that others be informed that the Working Assets
Visa (Mastercard too?) credit cards are somehow under Fleet Bank's
auspices in the Capital Region. If you are a holder of a Working
Assets account, you might want to contact Working Assets.

 What do you think? We want to hear from you. We will assume your
letter is a public "letter to the editor" unless you tell us
otherwise.

     - Should there be a Fleet boycott?
     - Should residents of the Capital Region call upon county and
       city governments to not do any further business with Fleet
       bank (assuming that they already do)?
     - Should businesses in the Capital Region do likewise?
       Individuals?

 Let us know what you think.
