MaggieMay's comments:

on Checking Credit

I was just listening to the show and wanted to comment that it isn't just CEO's and CFO's that get their credit checked for jobs. A quick look at some Portland craigslist job postings shows that employers like "Sherrie's Pampered Pets" perform credit checks on perspective employees.

on Checking Credit

How can business groups argue that bad credit is an indication of poor judgement or irresponsibility in a state with such high unemployment? And how do they expect people to dig themselves out of bad credit situations if we take away every chance for them to gain meaningful employment?

Passing this bill would give people a fair shot at getting their life back in order, and I'm all for that.
