Uh, excuse me…

This story out of Arizona encouraging a NO vote on Prop 200 misses the point: 

Prop. 200: No

Incorrectly called the “Payday Loan Reform Act,” this initiative pushed by the industry would make the law it operates under permanent instead of expiring in 2010. The industry provides a service, but it is overused. The Legislature should be responsible for regulating payday loans.

The reason there is a Proposition is that the legislature punted on this.  It had all year to act.
