The Ohio Farm Bureau is "Ticked Off" at the payday lenders!
In a video made by the Ohio Farm Bureau, called "Ohio Farm & County," spokesman Joe Cornely blasts payday lenders for their "blatant attempt to hijack their good reputation."
Cornely mentioned a recent meeting of the Ohio Farm Bureau, where many members expressed being insulted by the payday lenders' first commercial depicting an Ohio farmer asking voters to protect his "financial freedom," so that he can buy a new $100 belt for his truck. In the video, Cornely says "Spur of the moment, high interest loans aren't part of a farmer's financial strategy." Further, he notes: "Farmers don't even have paydays. Payday comes sporadically for the farmer, throughout the year when crops or livestock or sold."
Finally, Cornely brings it home: "By the way, when someone tries to misuse our good name, we have another official position - we're officially ticked off!"
Watch It:
The Cornely piece starts 5 minutes and 55 seconds in. It's a beautiful thing!
The Ohio Farm Bureau's official position on Issue 5 is "VOTE YES!"
