  1. Sefcovic would be the WORST possible choice for the 5th district court. She is nothing short of incompetent.
    I've seen her screw up many cases and hurt many families as a Family Court Magistrate here in Delaware Ohio.
    In my case, she ignored prior orders, ignored the facts, and ignored the State law. I appealed my case to the 5th district court and they overturned her decision, declaring that she had abused her discretion in the case. They then sent the case back to her to enact their decision.
    Her response? She ignored the opinion of the Court of Appeals.
    I had to go back to the 5th district court of appeals and have her overturned AGAIN, on the SAME CASE, for the SAME REASON. Surely, that is a milestone of incompetence.
    The fact is, in 2006 the members of the Ohio 5th District Court of Appeals recommended that a formal grievance be filed against Magistrate Santellani Sefcovic. Then, in 2007, she decides to run for a seat on the court.
    Santelli Sefcovic neither understands nor cares about the law. Our courts need good judicial offials, not merely lawyers who were unable to succeed in private practice.

  2. Forget if you agree with pday loans or not- FOCUS on the fact that the Ohio General Assembly thinks they have the right to control what financial products are available to the citizens of Ohio. Big brother style.

    Forget if you have used a PD loan or not-- FOCUS on the fact that other consenting adults do and are capable of making their own decisions, based on their individiual situations. Who are we to say no, you can't use that credit card? Or no you can't use that bank?

    Forget everything else -- FOCUS on the fact that eliminating payday loans DOES NOT eliminate the need for short term financial options. I bet 99.9% of the OGA doesn't have to worry about the day to day necessities the rest of are dealing with. They have insurance, pensions, well paying jobs.

    Forget about the Pday loan argument -- FOCUS on the controlling and spending of our household money by the state. Considering our current economic situation... I vote for less intrusion!! PLEASE let me manage my own darn $$ since the gov't has shown they are not responsible, accountable or budget conscious. Ohio>> 60M in debt!!

    Forget about the Pday loan side-- FOCUS on what else the government is going to decide in the future (under the guise of "paternalism") that we aren't capable of handling as adults. Restricting how much can be spent on food? alcohol? cigarettes? housing? gambling? clothes?

    FOCUS on the fact that the OGA is intruding on our personal financial decisions... where does it stop?? Why do they think they know better what will work for us than we do? We live it every day!!!

    The Issue of 5 is waaaay bigger than PD Loans >> its about Financial Freedom of Choice, which I consider to be a BASIC FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT!

    ***NO on ISSUE 5!****
