OH-15: Stivers Gets By With A Little Help From His Payday Lending Friends

Steve Stivers - A banking lobbyist running for public office at a time when the poor planning of banks leaves our country on the verge of an economic disaster.

Payday Lenders – Loans harks who pray upon the broke and the desperate by offering small loans with absurdly high interest rates, all while possessing ethical values and business practices that rival the mafia.

Seriously, it’s a match made in heaven! And it shouldn’t surprise you to know that Steve Stivers is setting up shop in a building that used to be used by, you guessed it, a payday lender.

I’m sure he’s not getting a special deal or anything…

Just like he wouldn’t let his former colleagues in the banking lobby finance his campaign. Oh, wait a second. He did do that, didn’t he?

"Of course banking lobbyist Steve Stivers and his friends would choose a payday lending office for a new coordinated campaign location. As someone who gave Buckeye Check cashing a $7 million dollar taxpayer giveaway and was one of only 4 votes against the predatory lending bill, it makes sense he would take over the lease from a payday lender to run his smear campaign."

-- Brad Bauman, Communications Director for Kilroy for Congress
