PayDay Lenders

I was recently sent this offering by Gary Brookins of the Richmond Times Dispatch.

Sometimes political catroonists cut right to the chase...

In Ohio, payday lenders have filed a ballot initiative to loosen regulation of their industry. But they haven't been able to begin gathering signatures because the state's attorney general has yet to sign off on the official langauge of the petition. This is a big problem in Ohio, which has a tight, 90-day window for gathering signatures. In an extraordinary move, the lenders have filed suit to cut the a.g. out of the process, the Columbus Dispatch reports.
