Gifts to your Legislators

[Bob Wells]

Whew, this is going to make it easier to buy a vote, and the gifts over $100 have to be approved by the Senate President and the House Speaker, I just need to remember to include those folks in my gift giving. So rather than the RPOFL giving out credit cards I can just give them the plane ticket. Hey Jay, still need that hanger er Emergency Operation Center, er classroom. No worries you can give the gift over the table now.

Since it's already pretty damn easy, I say this legislation is dumb and unnecessary.

And any cap is bunk - based on my firsthand observations all that happens is the business prepares a bill showing the item is below the threshold, then "gifts it" - regardless of actual price/value.
