Filed Tuesday, September 18, 2007 at 12:00 PM

Attorney General Jay Nixon gathered with a group of local Democratic elected officials today to call for the Republican-controlled state senate to act to regulate the state’s Pay Day Loan industry.

Joining Nixon were State Senators Rita Days (who Nixon praised for leading the charge against astronomical-interest lenders) and Jeff Smith, State Representatives Talibdin El-Amin, Robin Wright Jones, Jamilah Nasheed, and Juanita Head Walton, and Committeeman Joe Palm.
