I think this is a badly needed proposal. Check-cashing businesses are also part of the proposal:

Stamps: No New Payday Loan, Check Cashing, Liquor, Pawn Stores | JFP Mobile | Jackson, Mississippi

I'd like to see this expanded to include gas stations, car washes and hair stores.

I think that this is a good idea. Didn't Ridgeland do something like this?

Seems like a great deal for the people that already have those stores.

Does he have friends\family that own them or something?

I think Madison or Gluckstadt may have done something like this ... I know Gluckstadt residents are against gas stations already.

For a historical parallel....Chicago kept Walmart out for a loooong time under the guise of protecting workers and even (laughably) consumers.

The union grocery workers and of course the store owners were just doing their patriotic duty keeping Walmart out so the people of Chicago wouldn't have to struggle with oh....deciding for themselves where to shop.

Beware of politicians protecting you from something....it's often got a hidden motive.

I wish such a moratorium was in place years ago.
