Flattened in Flathead

November 16, 2010 | Montana, regulation | Comments (2)

From the story:

Several local short-term loan businesses in the Flathead are shutting their doors after voters passed an initiative capping the interest rates they can charge their customers.

Shelley Gould of Red D Cash in Evergreen said she will be closing after 10 years now that I-164 is in place, putting herself and another employee out of work.

“This is really, really a travesty,” Gould said. “(It’s) knocking on the door of free enterprise – shut down free enterprise if we don’t like what they’re doing.”

Well said.
