Dickinson Banks Charge For Small Checking Accounts
Dickinson county banks levy a 60 cent monthly fee on checking accounts averaging under $50. The district cites the workload in handling such accounts as justification. The piece also interjects with social quips about driving manners and a tongue in cheek note about a future “Claptrap” designation for a cautious tailor. The closing line questions subscription status.
