This is the controversial teacher fingerprint bill.

Look who voted on May 27th 2007. It was none other than Aaron Pena. That tell me he did not vote for SB 9 because he was to chicken shit!
We elected Aaron Pena so he could represent us up in Austin. Then to find out that he didn't cast a vote. And he was there voting on other bills. A no vote is worse than casting a vote. You are now beginning to see the real Aaron Pena and it is awful.
