Why did several Democrats vote for it?
Nebe, of course we all need to be cautious of too much influence-peddling. I don't like politicians selling themselves either. I don't like it when Republicans whore themselves out to business, nor do I like it when Democrats whore themselves out to labor unions. Both undermine the Democratic process. Correct? Here in my state, irreparable damage has been done because we essentially have one-party rule, and the legislature is owned by th eincredibly powerful labor unions, who have enriched themselves beyond imagination, while pushing the state to the brink of bankruptcy. Does that concern you at all? Or is it only problematic when Republicans sell influence?
