“usurious.”
Ya’ll know I lean to vote for this because limiting welfare mothers and Illegal Aliens access to microfinance will tend to drive them out of Colorado. Plus, it will make Coloradans more responsible in their financial dealings.
Although it will hurt certain Colorado retail businesses, that pain when compared to its benefits can very viewed as a wash.
A question remains. It appears that payday lenders will be able to maintain services on accounts from other jurisdictions while maintainning the cash transaction abilities at the current storefronts. This sounds like a loophole.
The example is if I have an account I created in another jurisdiction, won’t I be able to still access transactions locally under interstate commerce laws?
This is important. 1) it allows our military to retain their microfinance abilities as they transfer from base to base and 2) it sends the Illegal Alien market to other jurisdictions for new account creation, which we hope they’ll stay in and not return to Colorado so as to unburden Colorados medicaid roles that are fraudulantly paying out millions.
I’d certainly suggest Army Emergency Relief and similar organizations in the other services as vastly preferable to payday loans.
Libzees is just living up to his quote from my sig line.
redstate is so negative.
What will likely irritate people is that the banks come out of this smelling like roses and taking all the business pf the payday folks – either through higher fee revenue (NSF charges) or with their own microfinance products.
At least the Democrats are taking a stance against Illegal Aliens and the financial tools they exploit to live and prosper illegally. You gotta hand it to them, they are capitalists.
You need to correct and update the “No” list that you are keeping on this issue. There are no “Jim Soper” state legislators. There is a Rep. John Soper. And, by the way, he told me he was a “Yes” on this one over a week ago. Please update.
even from Credit Cards and Mortgage companies.
Payday loans are nothing BUT legal Loan sharking.
The choices are:
1) nationalize all financial businesses
B) just regulate the crap out of their retail businesses
Seems logical to me.
