I'm gonna take you to your mama, pay day. –Mississippi John Hurt The unregulated industry that gouges working-class Texans with obscene interest rates on small loans again is fighting proposed regulations. Although Texas prohibits usurious interest rates, the industry dodges these protections by organizing as unregulated middlemen. These so-called “credit service organizations” link borrowers to lenders who are subject to interest rate caps. When the unregulated middlemen tack on their exorbitant fees, however, loans secured by paychecks or car titles can carry annual effective interest rates exceeding 1,000 percent. Texas now has more than 3,000 outlets for these lucrative loans, with pawnshops and even rental centers getting into a piece of the action. Fantastic returns are worth defending. Just in the two-year 2010 election cycle the industry contributed $1,369,542 to Texas politicians. If the payday industry lent out this same $1.4 million at 1,000 percent interest over the two-year election cycle, it could have grossed $166 million. That’s how much these lenders care about their loophole. Democratic Senator Wendy Davis has led attempts to regulate the industry. Her Senate Bill 253 would eliminate the loophole for credit service organizations, subjecting them to state usury laws and prohibiting fee-intensive rollovers of these loans. Jay Shipowitz, president of Irving-based Ace Cash Express, recently testified that, “If this bill is passed, we will be forced to shut our stores in Texas.”1 Five other lawmakers, including former Speaker Tom Craddick, have introduced similar reform bills.2 Republican Rep.

Total Texas PAC Spending The bulk of this report identifies and ranks Texas’ top general-purpose political action committees (PACs) in the 2012 election cycle (one chapter also analyzes special-purpose PACs). Rankings are based on the total expenditures that PACs electronically reported to the Texas Ethics Commission. During the two-year election cycle ending in December 2012, 1,364 general-purpose PACs reported expenditures.1 There were more PACs active in 2012 than any other election over the past decade. Yet those PACs spent $126 million, a 5 percent decrease from the 2010 gubernatorial election cycle. PACs typically dig deeper in gubernatorial election years to influence the elections of a bumper crop of statewide officeholders. 2012 PAC spending increased 6 percent over the preceding non-gubernatorial election in 2008.
