Comments on: Ohio Has Enough Jobs, Doesn’t It? http://www.buckeyeinstitute.org/blog/2008/10/14/ohio-has-enough-jobs-doesnt-it/ Up To The Minute Analysis Of Ohio Public Policy Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:34:40 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.1 hourly 1 By: Missy http://www.buckeyeinstitute.org/blog/2008/10/14/ohio-has-enough-jobs-doesnt-it/comment-page-1/#comment-1393 Missy Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:15:59 +0000 http://www.buckeyeinstitute.org/blog/?p=3166#comment-1393 This is not just an Ohio issue....look at the bigger picture. I work for a company based out of Ohio- we were told yesterday that it is likely that a yes vote will end our jobs too. I live in Illinois- my company provides another 500 or so good paying jobs in Illinois and Indiana- but if our corporate operations in the state that we first established in are shut down chances are our large parent company will close all branches. I work in a building that was abandoned until my company came in- they cleaned it up and opened a business that now pays taxes to our community. It provides decent paying jobs in a market with hardly any! We are encouraged and our company allows us a budget to do positive things in our community- donates our property for car washes- donations to local agencies, etc.. Voting NO in Ohio- keep those jobs in Ohio- and many other jobs in other states. Our family has a trip to visit friends in Cincinnati in Feb. planned- without a job we'll certainly not take that trip- which is loss of money to Ohio- where we would spend money while there! Our daughter plays traveling softball- last year we spent 5 days in Ohio for nationals- our money into Ohios pocket. Ending jobs in any state- but expecially one that trickles to other states can not be a good thing. And by the way...if people want to loan- they'll just go online and do so. Internet lending is seeing a HUGE increase anyways- people will still overextend themselves- they'll still take loans at a cost of $15 per hundred or maybe more- and this law will have been the reason for huge JOB ELIMINATIONS. Vote No....if you don't like the lenders- don't use them, but don't take the jobs away. This is not just an Ohio issue….look at the bigger picture.

If you disagree with it, fine, but I'd like to see some stronger evidence than an assertion that questions his integrity. Perhaps you can produce a competing analysis or point out the flaws in his calculations. If not, I'd prefer to leave the character assasination elsewhere. I prefer to deal with facts, not innuendo. It's a fact that payday lenders can't stay in business under the new rates. It's a fact that their employees will lose jobs. It's a fact that this will have ripple effects throughout the community. Although those attacking payday lenders try to avoid this issue and question the character of those with whom they disagree, they cannot really deny these facts.

Given the paycheck from the payday lenders, I'm pretty sure he'd be willing to write whatever they wanted him to. Vote yes on issue 5!

Voters must wake up and realize that running another industry out of the state could be the final nail in the coffin. Not only will jobs and tax revenues be lost, but consumers who are already having a tough time will have a short-term credit option taken away. Just where will folks find the money for unexpected expenses if payday loans are banned? Vote NO on Issue 5 and help keep Ohioans employed and their financial options open!
