Ugly, untrue demagoguery
July 22, 2010 | Missouri, customers, industry | Comments (1)CRL continues to play the race card.
She won’t quit
April 25, 2010 | Missouri, industry | Comments (0)That’s State Rep. Mary Still in Missouri. She has a letter today in the Missourian.
Anything new here?
April 14, 2010 | Missouri, industry | Comments (0)No. The same old vitriol, nanny-statism, and name-calling from the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
Missouri stirred up
April 8, 2010 | Missouri, industry, regulation | Comments (1)Not sure what this all means:
Furious about the deceptive way Republicans have handled a short-term loan consumer protection bill, House Democrats in Jefferson City today employed a little-used maneuver and had the bill pulled out of an unfriendly committee.
The bill now must be placed on the House calendar for debate.
A beneficial, cost-effective service
April 7, 2010 | Missouri, industry, positive media coverage, regulation | Comments (0)QC Holding’s Tom Linafelt has a letter in the Springfield (MO) News Leader:
For hardworking Missourians, a payday advance can be a sensible choice for managing financial difficulties. In addition to being less expensive and credit-damaging, it is also simple, convenient and fully transparent in terms of cost and fees.
Haven’t heard this before
April 5, 2010 | Missouri, industry | Comments (0)From a guest op-ed in the Springfield (MO) News Leader:
To protect the massive profits “earned” from exploiting poor and working people……
An assertion defied by the evidence. As we’ve said here many times before, the public companies in the industry make profits of between four and eight percent on revenue. “Massive” they are not.
Is Missouri drama over?
March 23, 2010 | Missouri, industry | Comments (0)From the story:
Republican leaders blocked an attempt late yesterday by state Rep. Mary Still, D-Columbia, to get a payday loan reform bill onto the House floor for consideration.
I don’t get it
March 19, 2010 | Missouri, industry, regulation | Comments (0)What’s with this legislator? From the story out of Missouri:
Since Democrat Mary Still’s bill seeking tighter controls on the payday loan industry has yet to be assigned to a legislative committee for hearings, she decided to hold hearings on her own.
——————————–
But Tom Linafelt, director of communications for QC Holdings — the company the operates Quick Cash — told the News Leader prior to the hearings that payday loans are meant to be short-term loans for just two weeks. He contends that focusing on the APR can be misleading.”Much like you wouldn’t take a cab across the state or rent a hotel room for a year, neither would you take a payday loan for a year,” Linafelt said.
Missouri legislator won’t quit
March 18, 2010 | Missouri, industry, regulation | Comments (0)The sponsor of the Missouri rate cap legislation has yet another op-ed in yet another paper. Maybe she just enjoys writing.
