Meet Bob “Bathroom Bill” Perry
Bob supported all the taxes, the wacky accounting, the bad revenue estimates, the overspending, the nanny state nonsense, even job killing taxes and bloated government spending during a recession.

68 House reps did not vote on this bill. A list for another time, perhaps.
