“Pro-business” Chamber offends Dayton Daily News
September 2, 2008 | Dayton Daily News, Ohio, customers, industry, media coverage, states | Comments (0)The editorial writers are stroking out over the fact that the Ohio Chamber of Commerce supports free enterprise. From the hysterical editorial:
It’s not shocking that the Ohio Chamber of Commerce has lined up with the payday lending industry. The chamber is reflexive in its support of anything that is “pro-business” no matter how extreme or loosely defined “pro-business” is.
Recently, the chamber came out in support of repealing a new law that will limit the interest charges that payday businesses can charge.
“The Ohio Chamber champions free enterprise and economic competitiveness, and we believe HB 545 … runs counter to our mission,” the chamber president said. “This new law, if not reined in by Ohio voters, will drive an entire industry and 6,000 good-paying jobs out of our state.”
The pitch is shameless…
More yada, yada, yada if you have the stomach to read the whole thing.
