Rep. John Hood Regrets His Last Piece of Legislation
By Kleinheider Posted on July 30, 2008 at 3:29 pmFrom Colby Sledge:
One of Hood’s last sponsored pieces of legislation, co-sponsored by Murfreesboro Republican Sen. Bill Ketron, allowed state and local employees to file complaints against businesses allegedly employing illegal immigrants.
Hood has said he wouldn’t have sponsored the bill if he had known that ordinary citizens couldn’t file complaints after Ketron amended the bill. By late May the law had resulted in only two resolved complaints — both filed by Ketron — and no penalties.

Bills and laws such as this one have their own fatal flaw in the federal and state loopholes protecting/favoring employers (no requirement to check databases to attempt to verify the authenticity of “documents” flashed by possibly undocumented hires) — and as long as the chambers of commerce have Republicans in a hypnotic trance. Ketron has had more guts than most, but it’ll take more.
