Foxx Responds to News of Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis’ Retirement

 
Charlotte, N.C. - This evening, Democratic mayoral candidate Anthony Foxx responded to the announcement of Ken Lewis’ retirement from Bank of America:
“Bank of America is a fixture in Charlotte, a good corporate citizen and an employer of thousands of Charlotte area residents,” Foxx said. “The news of Ken Lewis’ retirement comes amid great uncertainly in our country and in our city. Now, and as mayor, I will do everything in my power to keep the long-standing bond between Charlotte and Bank of America strong, including any and all measures necessary to keep Charlotte as its headquarters.”
"Ken Lewis has been a tremendous leader of Bank of America and a great civic partner to the city of Charlotte,” Foxx said. “I wish him well in his retirement and will remain hopeful that his successor will be as engaged in our community as Ken Lewis has been."
