California Town Considering Total Outdoor Smoking Ban — Even on Private Property

The Baker family in Rocklin, California, has kids with asthma. The neighbors smoke in their backyard and refuse to stop. So the Bakers are asking their city council to ban outdoor smoking when it drifts into someone else’s property.

Your Bitemaster doesn’t smoke anymore, but figures that next they’ll complain about his barbeque, the exhaust from his car, his wife’s perfume or the smell of his lilac bushes.

I think smoking in your backyard should be covered by Griswold and the Bakers can Bite Me!

Richer people break the law, take candy from children

“The higher up on the social scale people put themselves, the more likely they are to feel entitled to break the rules and act unethically, research by Toronto and Berkeley professors has found.

Well that confirms my preconceived notions!

Pennsylvania woman shows pols how to make a legislative map

Allentown woman shows Harrisburg how to make a legislative map.

“Her goal was to design a sensible legislative map – compact, balanced by population, with minimum “splitting” of counties, townships, boroughs, even city wards. And gerrymander-free.

“Using Excel spreadsheets to tally the population figures and Adobe Illustrator software to chart boundaries, Holt worked to produce maps with neat lines, most districts in definable rectangles.”

“The districts in her homemade map had far fewer county splits, half the number of municipal splits, and only a handful of ward splits.”

Hehe. Can we get her for New York State?
