In recent news in AZ, payday lenders are working with an former AZ attorney general – Grant Woods to try and keep payday loans from being eliminated fully in the state. In a recent vote the short terms loans had been voted to be eliminated, however some are trying to prevent this from happening. A local AZ paper is quoting that some payday lenders have hired a local company whose owners are advisors to the AZ governor, so this looks like they are really trying to win this battle this time. We all wish the people in AZ (Leadpile’s home) luck with winning this battle.
