Strip club spokeswoman leading charge against payday lenders in Ohio

Last year, Sandy Thies was the spokesman for a strip club referendum in Ohio, according to this story.  In that capacity, she defended the industry against charges that petition gatherers were not telling the truth.   Now she’s out there accusing RejectHB545 petition gathers of being misleading.   Can she be taken seriously? 

Update:  We were just informed that Sandy is a female.   Note the pronoun changes.

Sandy Theis is a woman, and why criticize her for representing strip clubs which are legal businesses? What she should be criticized for is saying “We want the people who are paying for this effort to knock it off,” as if Ohioans for Financial Freedom told the petitioners to misrepresent the ballot initiative. She hasn’t presented any evidence of that.
