June 18, 2010 | alternatives, industry | Comments (0)Pawn shops in Washington, DC are under attack. From the story:
Three residents filed a lawsuit to stop Famous Pawn from getting a license, arguing that the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs was supposed to have considered the community’s input. They also pushed Ward 4 Councilmember Muriel Bowser to introduce an emergency bill—the Predatory Pawnbroker Regulation and Community Notification Temporary Act of 2010—making new pawnbroking licenses subject to the approval of the affected ANC. It passed the D.C. Council unanimously on May 4.
