Now that Tommy-Boy Barrett is running for Governor, (surprise!!) he may have to explain something:
While straw purchasing is not a new problem, recent media reports from Milwaukee illustrate how widespread this crime has become. Representative Gunderson first introduced legislation to make straw purchasing a felony during the 1999-2000 Legislative Session. During the 1999-2000 Session the State Assembly passed that legislation, Assembly Bill 664, by a unanimous and bipartisan 97-0 vote; however, the State Senate did not take action on the legislation. By the 2003 Legislative Session, Assembly Bill 315 only passed the Assembly Criminal Justice Committee on a partisan 8-6 vote, with every Democrat on the Committee voting against it.
At the time, Rep. Lena Taylor (now Senator Do You Know Who I AAAAMMM??), stated that she would 'not vote for anything that hurts my people.'
Yup. She voted against the bill, joined by Colon, Staskunas, and Turner of Racine.
