Brent Gentry, Commissioner

Discussion had on US Bank credit cards. Would like to have them split out so that each office gets their own bill. The problem now is that if there is a late payment cards are being shut off due to a couple of offices running behind on payment. If it was split out into each office then only that office would have card shut off. No action taken.
