*2nd Federal Reserve District (Dudley Aug. 10th) includes NYC, NY
State, No. NJ, & Puerto Rico
*FOMC 2017 Voting Members: Four
governors on the FOMC are permanent voters: Janet Yellen, Stanley Fischer, Lael Brainard,
Jay Powell. Dan Tarullo was the 5th.vote at every meeting but he retired from the Board.
(Board Governors now endure 3 vacancies, w/Trump nominating one after July 4th). NY
Fed Pres.Wm Dudley also a permanent FOMC voting member. The rest of the voters, in 2017,
are 5 of the 11 regional Fed Pres.:New voters, for 2017: Philly Fed Pres. Patrick
Harker, Minneapolis Fed Pres Neel "Too Big to Fail" Kashkari, Dallas Fed's
Robert Kaplan, and Chicago Fed Pres Charles Evans. Evans was last a voter
in 2015. The other 3 are voters for the first time. Loretta
Mester (Cleveland), Eric Rosengren (Boston), James Bullard (St. Louis) and Esther George
(Kansas City) have lost their votes in 2017. In an Oct. speech, Harker said he would have
preferred if rates had been raised at the prior FOMC meeting. Kaplan was a 23-yr veteran
of Goldman Sachs before winding up at Harvard Business School. Mester & George are
hawks that dissented at several 2016 meetings until the 2016 rate hike announced 12/14 but
aren't voters in 2017. Richmond Fed's Jeff Lacker resigned in early April 2017, when
it became known he'd leaked sensitive FOMC discussions to Medley Advisors. Richmond is
operating with an Interim Pres, Mark L Mullinix, while the search for a new leader
continues. Raphael Bostic replaced Dennis Lockhart at the Atlanta Fed, when Lockhart left.
