Hagan is once again proving his incompetence. If he doesn't even know what is in a bill that he sponsored, then he probably didn't know what the impact of the legislation was going to be.
Next thing you know, he's going to pass another bill that will actually cap the lending rate, and then when 6,000 people are out of work, he'll claim he didn't know his bill would do that.
This issue needs to be dead. I don't care what they are. I don't care where we get them. Our state needs jobs and payday lending brings plenty of them.
If these loans are so bad, then why do people continue to get them?
Because they are the cheapest thing available! I bounced a check a year ago by mistake and was charged three times the amount that a payday lender would charge me.
And why is this even news? Aren't there bigger issues Ted Strickland and company should be dealing with? Like, say, the 10% unemployment rate here in the Mahoning Valley?
Bill to close loophole for payday lenders
Am I the only one mad that the legislature is wasting their time on this issue?
For Pete's sake, we've got 10.2% unemployment in this state and the legislature is focusing on crap that no one cares about.
Fix our economy!
