Wisconsin’s Gordon Hintz to run for speaker?
August 25, 2009 | Wisconsin | Comments (0)According to a new column on BloggerNewsNetwork:
Democratic sources tell me that Hintz is using the payday loan issue to make a name for himself in the Legislature, and run for Assembly Speaker.
If Hintz truly wants to make a name for himself, he should do so in a manner becoming an elected official — one that doesn’t blatantly stink of ambition. If he wants to make an issue out of payday loans, he could do so just as easily by introducing common sense consumer protections. Why ban the product outright? In case he hasn’t heard, there’s a huge middle ground between banning something and having it unregulated.
