Is a routine political compromise a crime?

Gordon Smith writes about a Wisconsin statute that makes "logrolling" a felony.

A class I felony, no less. What ever happened to the smoke filled rooms?

I find the theory quite debatable. To me, it is not the least bit surprising that one legislator will trade his vote with another, so that both get two votes for what they want.
