    Loan-Shark-F inanced Loan-Shark-F inanced CCaammppaaiiggnnss TThh rreeaatteenn PPaayyddaayy--LLooaann RReeffoorrmm Texans for Public Justice ** www.tpj.org ** March 2011 Loan-Shark-Financed Campaigns Threaten Payday-Loan Reform Did all I can do and I can't get along with you. 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.

    THE BOOSTER NETWORK: A FRAMEWORK FOR ANALYZING STATE POLICY FORMATION IN AN ERA OF RESURGENT PRIVATE POWER by PATRICK MCKELLAR EMBRY Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN URBAN AFFAIRS THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2006 Copyright © by Patrick McKellar Embry 2006 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank first and foremost my committee chair, Jianling Li, for her help and encouragement to me during this thesis writing process. Also, thank you to Jim Cornehls and Enid Arvidson for the time and effort they contributed in their role as committee members. All three lent their knowledge and efforts to make this the best thesis possible. I would also like to thank Texas State Representative Garnet Coleman, with whom I interned in 2005, who shared many insights into the Texas legislative process. Finally, I would like to thank my family, friends, and other SUPA faculty members, especially my academic advisor Edith Barrett, who have offered their support not only these past months, but throughout my time as a master’s student.

The resulting high stakes have drawn a variety of traditionally powerful private players to overtly participate in Texas state policy making.

  • 78Th Legislative Session
    1 YOUNG CONSERVATIVES OF TEXAS Ratings of the 78th Texas Legislature Rating the Texas Legislature Since 1975 2 Young Conservatives of Texas Rate the 78th Texas Legislature Young Conservatives of Texas is an independent, non-partisan youth organization dedicated to the preservation of individual liberties and freedoms through limited government. YCT is an organization that enables college students the opportunity to participate in the political process. YCT believes that there is no better way to educate and train young citizens as to the working of our government than to have them directly participate in the process. Since 1975, YCT has prepared its ratings of legislators as a public service to the citizens of Texas. The purpose is to better inform them of the activities and performance of their representative lawmakers. YCT has selected the following bills which it believes accurately serve to gage a legislator’s philosophy in light of YCT’s Statement of Principles. Over the past twenty-eight years, the YCT ratings have earned the reputation as the best and most reliable measure of determining who is conservative in the Texas Legislature. Our ratings are unique in that YCT is the only organization in Texas to produce ratings of a state legislature for the last 28 years. The YCT ratings cover an important period in Texas history. Since our first ratings, we have witnessed dramatic changes in Texas politics. During the past 28 years, Texans have seen the emergence of a viable Republican Party and the virtual disappearance of a conservative presence in the Democratic Party. These ratings serve to record the history of Texas lawmaking.

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.
