About 200 anti-death penalty activists rallied outside the Statehouse two days after the American Bar Association called for a moratorium on executions, and a day after the US Supreme Court announced it would decide a lethal injection case from Kentucky. A huge number of signatures on the petitions that seek to overturn new rules on strip clubs have been thrown out. And with the numbers of check cashing stores and quick-loan businesses adding up very quickly in Ohio, the payday lending industry has been a target for activists for lower-income people. But the lenders say a legal crackdown could drive them out of business, leaving some customers in worse financial trouble than before. Bill Faith with the Ohio Coalition for the Homeless and Darryl Dever, a lobbyist for the payday lending industry, talk about it.
