Local lawmaker opposes popular domestic violence bill

Damn, Joe Fischer is fucking pitiful.

The Kentucky House recently approved H.B. 9, a very popular bill that would allow dating partners to obtain domestic violence protective orders. The vote was 92 to 5 in favor.

Kentucky has been weak regarding protective orders - a fact that has led to the deaths of some victims. In fact, there was reportedly no such thing as a protective order in Kentucky until sometime very recently. But H.B. 9 is a strong safeguard for victims.

Guess who was among the 5 members who voted against this robust bill? That's right, folks. Campbell County's very own Joe Fischer. Mr. "Right-to-Work" himself. The same Joe Fischer who was almost laughed out of the chamber for trying to gut Kentucky's laws against corporate funding of elections. The same Joe Fischer who sued the state in order to force it draw a House district where he could get elected.

The other 4 members opposing the bill were - like Fischer - also Republicans: Mike Harmon, Kim King, Mike Meredith, and of course failed attorney general candidate Stan Lee.

Hey, we just got a message for Stan Lee: Jim Photoglo called. He wants his mustache back.
