Democrat Lawmaker Voted to raise taxes in order to profit personally
Democrat lawmaker wanted to raise taxes on cigarettes a dollar. He ended up voting for and got passed a 67 cent increase. What he failed to disclose is that he purchased $300,000 worth of the cigarette tax stamps at the lower price, and planned to sell them for a profit once the new tax went into effect.

He chalks it up to bad advice from his accountant.

This whole “of, by and for the people” thing is rapidly fading from “inaccurate” to “cruel joke”.
