NEW YORK (AP) — Members of a group of outside experts required by law to meet twice a year with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau say the group has been dissolved by CFPB head Mick Mulvaney.

It's the latest pro-industry action by the Trump administration since it took over the bureau seven months ago.

Mulvaney, acting director of the CFPB, told the 25 members of the Consumer Advisory Board on Wednesday morning that they will be replaced and the board will be reconstituted, according to two of the members. These people requested anonymity since the announcement was not official yet.

Under the law that created the CFPB, the CAB is required to meet twice a year, but meetings were repeatedly cancelled since Mulvaney came to CFPB.

7. My "hate" list has grown far too big to

fit on a college ruled, 3 ring binder paper and this bastard is in the top 15!

8. T-R-U-M-P

Ditto on the hate list, since I'm adding the 63 million fellow Americans who voted for this vile man. The evidence was there for anyone who bothered to do even the tiniest bit of investigation on Trump, assuming of course one needed to know more after the mocking of a disabled person & the Access Hollywood tape. We are sinking to the lowest common denominator.

9. A sucker is born every minute.

In the case of the current US, I would amend that statement to say "A sucker is born every nanosecond". We are an apathetic country of self absorbed fools.
