Now, Senate Bill 89 would invite them back in and allow these lenders to charge exorbitant interest rates of up to 391% annually. This vicious practice traps vulnerable borrowers in an endless cycle of debt. Gov. McCrory opposed payday lending in the past. Write him and tell him to do so again. TAKE ACTION

Even as he supported cuts in unemployment insurance, Pat McCrory gave his Cabinet members 5% to 10% raises because he was worried that they would struggle along on their $121,000+ starting salaries otherwise. “I’m trying to make it at least where they can afford to live,” he said. Please write McCrory, tell him you oppose the pay raises, and share a tip or two with him about how you manage to squeak by on less than $120,000 a year. TAKE ACTION
