There’s a lot of action in Mississippi.  From the story: 

The Starkville Board of Aldermen Tuesday extended the moratorium on new check-cashing and high-interest loan businesses in the city.

Approximately 20 companies, commonly referred to as “payday loan” businesses, car title loan businesses and check-cashing businesses operate in Starkville, with a majority of them located on Highway 12.

Ward 3 Alderman Eric Parker was the only board member to vote against the moratorium extension, saying he fears family-owned businesses might not be able to renew or transfer privilege licenses and/or certificates of occupancy if “something happens” to the owner.
