Readers Write: Rep. John Thompson, 'less-lethal' weapons, vaccines, Jim Crow, Erik's bikes Ethics investigation, please. Text size Copy shortlink: State Rep. John Thompson was found to have a Wisconsin-issued driver's license and suspended driving privileges in Minnesota ("Hold Thompson accountable," editorial, July 13). The license was suspended because he failed to stay current on his court-ordered child support payments. These two elements, alone, show that Thompson is a scofflaw. But the fact that Thompson is a member of the Minnesota House yet seemingly has residency in Wisconsin reveals that Thompson has contempt for all the rules that the rest of must follow.
