Perhaps they believe in “free will”
October 7, 2008 | COHHIO, Columbus Dispatch, Ohio, industry, industry critics, media coverage, positive media coverage, regulation, states | Comments (1)The Ohio Christian Alliance is supporting repeal of H.R. 545 and sending out a brochure urging citizens to vote “No” on the payday lending referendum. (Remember, NO is a vote repeal the law and save the payday lending industry.) From the story:
Breaking from many other Ohio religious leaders, the Ohio Christian Alliance is siding with the payday-lending industry, urging voters to reject State Issue 5.
The Christian Alliance has produced a voters guide advocating a “no” vote on the referendum and the continuation of the 391 percent annual interest rate ($15 per $100 on a two-week loan) charged by payday lenders.

Unfunny and stupid
September 29, 2008 | Columbus Dispatch, industry | Comments (0)That’s the only way to characterize this column by anti-payday lending columnist Amy Fisher. The column is virtually devoid of any substance and facts. As former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher used to say, “When your opponents are calling you names, it means they are out of argument.”
Law of unintended consequences?
