"GOP leaders are unhappy with the association's political and lobbying activities in recent years." So to get back at the Association, Republicans pass a law to prevent them from paying their dues via payroll deduction. Why not State and Federal Taxes, Social Security, Health Care Premiums and other deductions? You would think politicians could find other more important things to do than making things hard on the very people they are suppose to represent. Do they not realize that elected Democrats do not just represent Democrats and elected Republicans do not just represent Republicans. They are supposed to represent "The People". Sure would be nice to see that happen again.
