What do payday loans & guns have in common?
February 27, 2009 | Virginia, industry, media coverage, states | Comments (0)They are lumped together in an article about legislation heading to the desk of Virginia Governor Tim Kaine. From the article:
Gov. Timothy M. Kaine said today he would veto legislation passed by the General Assembly yesterday that would allow holders of concealed weapons permits to bring their hidden guns into establishments that serve alcohol. “I’m very nervous about the public safety impact of that bill,“ the governor said on his monthly call-in radio show on WRVA in Richmond. Kaine also reiterated his intention to sign recently passed legislation to impose a statewide ban on smoking in public restaurants that do not have a separately ventilated areas for those wishing to light up. And the governor signaled that he would endorse a further legislative crackdown on the payday lending industry, which sidestepped a law passed last year that was supposed to rein in lending practices that reaped large profits while allowing borrowers to dig themselves deeper into debt.
Gee, at least the reporter doesn’t editorialize at all.
