Do these people even read what they write?
August 11, 2008 | Alabama, industry, local issues, regulation, states | Comments (0)Our friends at the Aniston (AL) Star have an editorial today lamenting how hard it is to open a business in Aniston and then…get this…lauding a proposed moratorium on payday lenders:
If there’s anything constructive born from this election-year banter it’s that Anniston — a city seeking positive traction in many areas — must ramp up its efforts to be seen as pro-business, as a city that not only recruits big-box retailers but caters to small, locally owned business that are the backbone of many towns. There already are enough vacant storefronts along Quintard Avenue to do the city immeasurable harm….
Anniston is doing some things right; its moratorium on issuing business licenses to any additional payday lending stores, pending a ruling from the state attorney general, is a brave, proactive step.
It’s not easy to contradict yourself in one simple editorial, but the Aniston Star editors have done it.
