All Comments:

kathleen mayer, Self: more predatory lending practices; Rivko Knox, Self: As a constituent in LD 20, | oppose this
bill Rep. Kern as it will really hurt the most vulnerable.; Robert White, Self: The Arizona legislature has refused to
enact triple-digit rate consumer credit bills since voters rejected the payday lenders’ Prop 200 in 2008 on a 60 to
40% vote. This is to good for Arizonas. Horrible legislation agains the people.; Mary Pradelt, Self: People who need
to pawn their valuables are already economically fragile. Do not further threaten their lives with these onerous
fees.; Kelly Griffith, SOUTHWEST CENTER FOR ECONOMIC INTEGRITY: This bill raises a lot of concerns and
questions and the proposed changes will be of no substantive benefit to AZ Consumers.; Kevin Brown, Self: Enough
with the payday loan lobby.; Leon Wilmot, Self: Sheriff. it does victims of the criminal element or our
investigations no justice by limiting from 20 days to 7 days holding of items that are possibly stolen and pawned by
the criminal element.; Doug Arnold , Self: Payday loans were voted down in 2010 and this one is no different;
Bryna Koch, Self: Vote no.; Kathryn Kaczmarek, Self: This bill would be harsh on poorer families seeking services at
pawn shops when they desperately need money. This bill creates further financial burden to poorer families.;
Cathleen Bohnlein, Self: This will prey on the poor. Shameful; Gail Kamaras, Self: The 2% interest cap is grossly
inadequate to offset the 20% fee which will drastically harm poor people.; Ruth Lambert, Self: Yet another Bill to
hurt struggling famifies.; Barbara Oliver, Self: Allowing pawn shops high fees would allow them to prey on
vulnerable families. This bill is being pushed by the payday foan lobby. Please vote against it.; Tom McConnell, Self:
Blatant pandering to a lobby, against the public interest.; Jessica Fishell, Self: Predatory.; Susan Morris, Self: Think
about who uses pawn shops: desperate people. Allowing the shops to gouge them more than they already do Is
inhumane.; Kathy Dixon, Self: pawn shops fees are already way too high; Marlene Verdery, Self: discrimination and
financial burden for the financially challenged --shameful; Linda Edwards, Self: Sounds like a lawmaker own
interest in pawn shops. Why charge exorbitant fees unless you do?; Andrew Flach, Self: Can't belteve the GOP
wants to help pawn shops gouge people in distress even more.; Susan Anderson, Self: Definitely oppose; Mary
Radcliffe, Self: This is just a punitive, unnecessary bill.; Penny Boone, Self: Allowing pawn shops to charge
exorbitant fees means allowing them to prey on vulnerable families and create another financial burden. This bill is
being pushed by the payday loan lobby...a racket. | oppose.; Margaret Winchell, Self: Bill allows pawn shops prey

on vulnerable families.; Laurie Nerat, Self: People who need a small loan to make ends meet can end up trapped in
a vicious cycle of debt and lose their few assets for good. The bill is being pushed by the payday loan lobby.;
William Kelly, Self: This bill is unconscionable.; Anne Leota Hart, Self: This is a bad bill being pushed by the the
payday loan lobby. Why do we continue to pass bills that trap people in need in an endless cycle of debt? Why are
we not helping our citizens so they do not lose their assets when struggling.; janice sandoz, Self: This bill benefits
the payday loan lobby not the people need to use a pawnbroker to get a short-term loan.; Joan Mason, Self:
Brought to us from those who championed payday loans, this bill allows pawn shops to prey on vulnerable people.
This bill does not help people rise up from poverty; it sabotages them.; Theresa Graves, Self: This will hurt people
trying to make ends meet and trap them in a vicious cycle of debt which will do nothing for our economy,.; Jeffrey
Fortney, Self: Rep, Kern is pandering to lobbyists instead of listening to voters, Stop.; Virginia Dotson, Self: The
outrageously high fees allowed by this bill would create even more financial traps for people who can least afford
them.; Greer Warren, Self: OPPOSE. Fleecing the poor.; Dorothy Schumacher, Self: This bill is unfair because it
would allow pawn shops to prey on vulnerable people.; Lisa Wolfe, Self: Allows preying upon vulnerable people
with payday type loans.; Lori Cinnamond, Self: Who benefits from this? People who take advantage of vulnerable
families. People who are under financial burden are the ones that usually use the pawn shop. Please stop taking
advantage of their desperation. Shame on those who support this.; Nancy Santori, Self: 20% is ridiculous.; Sue
Thorne, Self: Greed, thy name is Republicans! Greed, you are American Businessmen. And do you also go to your
White Supremacist hypocritical church on Sunday? Let's not prey on the poor! Instead, try something new-
embrace themll; Elizabeth Miles Packard, Self: Fleece the poor? Who benefits?; Roxanna Kearns, Self: This bill is
supported by the pay day loan lobby and would place additional burdens on vulnerable individuals and families.;
Norman Fuchs, Self: A sweetheart deal for the payday loan lobby.; John Stuckey, Self: Users of pawn shops are
already in difficult situations. Raising monthly fees by up to 20% will trap these vulnerable folks into an endless
cycle of debt, while losing their valuables for ever. If Payday is for it, you should be against it! Kill it!; Dorothy
Reed-Inman, Self: This bill could negatively affect poor people.; Mary Nelson, Self: This is ridiculous; Susan Phelps,
Self: Oppose. No foan sharks in AZ; Mary Kathleen Honne, Self: Stop predatory practices that affect vulnerable
people! A 20% monthly fee is outrageous.; Peter Byrd, Self: Strongly oppose. They should be driven from the
Sstate.; Irene Arango, Self: It just seems wrong to punish the poor for being poor.; Mary Benin, Self: Don't allow fee
increase.; Charlotte Lis, Self: Why are we supplying lawbreakers?; Carol Trunnell, Self: This is just another way to |
make a business rich at the expense of vulnerable people.; Helen Herziger, Self: The rich get richer and the poor |
get robbed.; Mary Gaudio, Self: Will hurt our most vulnerable citizens.; Roy Verdery, Self: Oppose predatory

lending!; Carol Garnett, Self: Poor people use pawn shops and interest at 2% is reasonable but not the fees which

prey on poor people when this is their only option.; Sandra Rizzo, Self: Abusive of economically vulnerable

citizens.; Laurie Munn, Self: This bill is yet another attempt by the majority party to punish people who live in

poverty. Allowing pawn shops to charge exorbitant fees means allowing them to prey on vulnerable families and

create another financial burden. Please vote no.; Janet Herbert, Self: Strongly oppose.; Diane Nevill, Self: The

payday loan industry may be happy with this bill, but not vulnerable individuals who fail on hard times. It will allow

pawnshops to charge exorbitant fees.; Erin McCamish, Self: This bill preys on low income families.; Martha Schulte-

Nafeh, Self: No predatory lending practices.; Mary Keerins, Self: This bill allows exorbitant fees in place of interest.

it is a shell game designed to prop up the pay-day loan industry.; Marie Williams, Self: Oppose; Frederique Delhaye,

Self: squeezing the poor again!; Steve Marks, Self: NO usury!; Jisoo Kim, Self: Allowing pawn shops to charge

exorbitant fees means allowing them to prey on vulnerable families and create another financial burden. People

who need a small loan to make ends meet can end up trapped in a vicious cycle of debt.; Melanie Kishi, Self: This

preys on vulnerable people, and | can’t see anything about this bill that helps anyone except the pay day loan

lobby. Decreasing the interest but increasing the fee does not ease the burden for vulnerable families.; Beverly

Cameron, Self: This could trap vulnerable families in a vicious circle of debt by allowing pawn shops to charge

exorbitant fees.; Jane Atkins, Self: This measure would only further harm people who are desperately trying to

make ends meet, but are at such a disadvantage that they need to pawn belongings to get by.; Carol Anne Evans,
Self: This bilf would do further harm to the most financially desperate Arizonans. NO; Patrick Diehl, Self: Another
favor for the detestable payday loan industry. Aren't they causing the poor enough harm already?; Linda Meigs,
Self: Do not prey on vulnerable families!!; Dale Wiebusch, MARICOPA, CITY OF: Neutral with the amendment;
Roxanna Pitones, LEAGUE OF ARIZONA CITIES & TOWNS: Neutral with the proposed amendment.
