Tom Humphrey has a sampling of the latest bills filed in the legislature:
A state law requiring sellers of illegal substances to pay a special tax or face penalties and seizure of their property was struck down by the state Supreme Court last year. Sen. Randy McNally and Rep. Charles Curtiss have produced a bill designed to answer the court’s objections and put the “crack tax” back on the books. (SB3134/HB3164)
Just read the stupidity.
