* The payday lending legislation passed the Ohio House of Representatives. Known as HB 545, this bill has already met approval with the Ohio Senate. It now goes to Gov. Strickland for his signature. Here are the names of the members of the Ohio House of Representatives who voted against a 28% interest rate for payday lenders (I guess they wanted to keep the interest rate at over 300%.):
Adams - R
Aslanides - R
Brinkman - R
Chandler - D
Coley - D
Combs - R
Core - R
Daniels - R
Domenick
Fessler - R
