*FOMC 2016 Voting Members: Five
governors on the FOMC are permanent voters: Janet Yellen, Stanley Fischer, Lael Brainard,
Jay Powell and Dan Tarullo.vote at every meeting. (Board Governors endure 2 vacancies that
Senate refuses to confirm). Like the NY Fed pres. is, also, a permanent FOMC voting
member. The rest of the voters, in 2016, are 5 of the 11 regional Fed Pres.: Loretta
Mester (Cleveland), Eric Rosengren (Boston), James Bullard (St. Louis) and Esther George
(Kansas City). Mester, George and Bullard are hawks, while Rosengren is
considered a dove. Evans, Lockhart, Williams, and Lacker were 2015 voters, now off
the voting panel at 2016 FOMC meetings. Neel Kashkari, former TARP overseer, took
over Presidency of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank, replacing Kocherlakota, who wound
up a short-lived leader. Kashkari won't vote in 2016 but will stick to his "Too Big
.to Fail" mantra on banks
