UAPA says: Vote Yes on Issue 5!
Ask yourself one question, "Is 391% interest too high?" The answer is YES!
Now you know how to vote on Issue 5, Ohio's payday loan referendum that greedy lenders are trying to get on the November 4 ballot.
Upper Arlington Progressive Action first brought this to your attention several months ago when we learned about the effort to reform payday lending. We applauded the passage of House Bill 545, which reduced the annual percentage of interest that can be charged down to 28%.
Then the national payday lending lobby started its shananigans. They are trying to overturn the reform measure by putting the issue on the ballot. But their petition circulators have been deceptive and their ballot language misleading.
UAPA joins nearly every major newspaper in Ohio, the governor, the speaker, the senate president, big-city mayors and city councils, and religious, business, civic and social leaders in urging you to remember:
Vote YES on Issue 5.
Spread the word!
