Ohio petition signature wars
September 18, 2008 | Ohio, industry, regulation, states | Comments (4)We heard from industry sources in Ohio this morning that the signature wars are standard fare in these battles. That’s why they submitted well over 400,000 when they only need 241,000 to qualify.

This has to be the worst job ever done by an advocate.Isnt it an advocates job to make sure the will of the people is carried out?Maybe im a little out of date but Bill Faith Mr. super advocate of the people is trying every tactic in the book to keep the payday loan issue off the ballot.WHY if an advocate life’s work is to work in the best interest of the people.Why is he and his group of paid elitists who know whats better for all of us,want to keep the will of the people out of it?????WHO BUTTERS HIS BREAD?Find that out and you will have the answer to why financial choice is being threatend in Ohio.
Unfortunately, it sounds like we need re-evaluate who represents us in the future. One would think that a company that makes its living from gathering signatures on a petition should be aware of the requirements for gathering such signatures. What was appearing as a HUGE positive for the industry is now giving our opponents ammunition to use against us.
Keep on “fighting” the good fight in Ohio!!!
I do believe in justice now. It seems that the dishonest tactics of the petition gatherers just affirms the dishonesty of the people. Who needs people like this in our state?
this wasnt dishonest tactics of the payday lending companies.
1. they hire another company to get the signatures
2. after the signatures have been turned in, they verify that they are registered voters, if they arent , they have to take their names out.
3. some of the customers are dishonest. I had many say that they signed the petition at more than one location. They said that they knew it wasnt the way it was suposed to be , but thats what they did.
HOW IS THAT DISHONESTY WITHIN THE INDUSTRY?
