Campfield proposed a "porn not corn" tax. I marveled then at what a hypocrite he was for proposing to 1) raise a tax 2) against the right free expression, all the while claiming to be a Conservative. http://www.knoxviews.com/node/4223 Well in December he pointed to a tax just enacted in Texas called the "pole tax" saying it was like his "porn not corn" tax but slightly narrower. http://lastcar.blogspot.com/2007/12/texas-starts-pole-tax.html Last week, a one of those activist liberal TEXAS judges ruled the tax unconstitutional. http://www.kxan.com/Global/story.asp?S=8086637&nav=menu73_2_4 That district needs a better representative to the the Statehouse.
