Smoke-Free Pennsylvania – Business As Usual

Posted on by

I can’t believe I wrote about this a little over a year ago, but this just showed up again on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and I thought it was so ironic that nothing had really changed in all that time that I thought I’d write abut it again.

It looks as though the decision on whether Pennsylvania will go smoke-free has been delayed yet again.  You can read about it here.  It’s business as usual when it comes to politics and Pennsylvania.

    Finally, something that the Doctor and the Squirrel agree on.

    Our glorious/infamous legislature has always been a follower rather than a leader, the Doctor evidences the State Liquor Store system, the only one left in the country from the Prohibition Days.

    They will hold hearing, yak-yak-yak and after every other state in the country has enacted laws, PA will jump into the game.

    Cough-cough, excuse me I just ate dinner at a local Level Green restaurant….bit of an after-taste still in my mouth.

    Another case where the PA legislature puts money first. Want to raise your blood pressure, ask your local representative about term limits.
