Rep. John Hood Regrets His Last Piece of Legislation

From 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.
