How Post Offices Can Beat Payday Lenders by Michael Waters in Washington Monthly.
Living outside a very small town in the smallest county in Illinois, I am a very strong supporter of the post office, and absolutely appalled at any efforts to cut it back or privatize its services. This amendment gives me something else to support. I know people around here who do not have any banking options except payday lenders, and it makes my hair stand on end. I hope they are successful (but bet there are going to be corporations fighting this hammer and tongs).
