Can we get the section in there that bans the deadbeat parents from gambling or hunting until they pay their child support payments?
Part of the reason Governor, why I removed that whole section was because of how arbitary it was; it makes assumptions about the people who don't make child maintenance payments. Many people who hold down a good well paid job and lead a 'clean' life also fail to pay maintenance. Why single out 'gambling and hunting'; why not betting on greyhounds, drinking at bars, buying liquor or buying cigarettes? It seems a bizzare thing to single out.
That's why I replaced it with the power to suspend a persons driving license; that's a bigger and far more effective hit.
How is gambling bizarre? These are people who are supposed to pay child support payments and are gambling the money they should be giving for the kid. I can live without hunting license being revoked, but not without the gambling measure. My goal here is to get the child support payments paid, this does just that. Sure it doesn't apply to every single person that isn't paying, but it has effects.
