GOP lawmaker voted to let corporations scam poor people

By Oliver Willis - October 23, 20181
Minnesota state Rep. Sarah Anderson had a chance to help reign in the payday loan industry as it preyed on the vulnerable. She didn't.

Minnesota state Rep. Sarah Anderson had a chance to stand up to companies that take advantage of low-income citizens. Instead, she decided to stand with predatory loan sharks.

The Payday Lending Reform Bill sought to reign in the payday lending industry, which has notoriously imposed massive costs on vulnerable low-income people who seek out their services as a last resort.

When the Minnesota Assembly considered the issue in 2014, Anderson voted against the bill (HF 2293) alongside her fellow Republicans.

The campaign to curb these loans began in the faith community, where a group of citizens at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Minneapolis saw payday loans hurting their fellow members and neighbors.

An analysis by Minnesota’s Department of Commerce found that on an average $380 loan, borrowers were paying an additional $397.90 in charges to payday lenders.
