Jeffrey Lacker is president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond

The topic of his speech was "Does Federal Reserve Governance Need Reform?"

He did make more pertinent comments (for us) earlier here: Fed's Lacker spreading his hawkish cheer. Signs inflation is heating up

-

  • Lacker is a non-voter at the Federal Open Market Committee in 2016
  • And he is a non-voter again in 2017
  • He will achieve suffrage 2018 and get a vote!

Nonvoters attend the meetings of the Committee, participate in the discussions, and contribute to the Committee's assessment of the economy and policy options

Lacker is looking forward to voting (I think he needs to be 21 first or something)
