They need to overturn the ban on smoking in bars as well. Let the owners decide, and the customers will also decide where they want to go.

Call me crazy but the time is ripe for conservatives to come to Michigan and help us build on our momentum.

It isn’t for the faint of heart but the long term payoff could be awesome.

Surprising because Michigan’s neighbors (Wisconsin, Ohio, Canada) also tax the heck out of cigarettes. This seems more an issue wherever a high tax state borders a low tax one.
