The guy who updated must have gotten fired. Doesn't cost ME anything to update my pages! heh!

PUFF!!

I used to get a lot of news from this site. Last news was posted in August. I checked back today and this is what I found.

Looks like a state site sponsored by the tobacco cash settlement. I guess they don't have enough money left to actually address tobacco issues. What a bunch of marrons,lol

They never posted anything true or good from our side anyway. But I kept my eye on them. hehe!

Here in Washington state we're using the tobacco settlement money for other things, mainly to make up for declining sales tax revenues. Perhaps the same thing happened in MA.

Well, here in Maine, they use the Tobacco Settlement money to sponsor the race tracks! The MSA money, which is being paid 100% by smokers who pay cigarette taxes, not the Governement and not Big Tobacco, but the smokers, was supposed to be used for education and to pay for any sick smoker on welfare, should there be any.

However, the windfall of money turned the lawmakers into absolute gluttons. New York built a huge golf course. The money is being used to balance state budgets. Yet they cry they want smoke-free everything. How can they ever have both? They can't.

The money just poured down the drain...never doing a thing that they said they would do with it. And even the DC doesn't want to touch this one...not one senator will ask questions over this whole affair. Not one congressman will demand an accounting of the money paid out. I think the tobacco companies...simply for entertainment...ought to start putting out ads explaining where the money actually went...and then go to court to ask for their money back. A southern court judge would likely bend his ear a bit and actually consider the case.

The wiseguy politicians thought the good times would never end and they could keep jabbing the sheeple to their hearts content.

Now times have changed and they've spent all the money.

That's quite an article. Go Gov Swift!!!

#9...... Oh my, they really are in a bind, perhaps they should go back to school and take management and economics.

Puff the Magic Dragon.....
