Today’s Times Bulletin (OH) headlines a story “Payday lending future in Ohio looks doubtful.”   From the story:

In Van Wert, Issue #5 was easily upheld, 59 percent for to 41 percent against. Statewide, the referendum agreement was even more pronounced, winning by nearly a 30 percent margin.

In response, the parent company of Cashland Lending Stores announced on Wednesday morning that they would initially be closing 43 locations around Ohio, or about 1/3 of all storefronts in operation in the state. They did not release which sites were to be closed but that it would affect about 150 employees.
