Not affective when voting systems work for the ones with the money.
We need help.
Any more ideas?
Money is a big problem, believe me I know.
Remember, people pushing these bans get paid to do it and states that pass them get funding for doing so from groups like the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to run more anti-something campaigns.
Restaurant and other hospitality trade groups.....especially if they are not controlled by the chains (TGIFriday's, Red Lobster, and the like), local chambers of commerce.
Bars and restaurants near the state line with Delaware and New York...........their businesses have benefited from those bans - this would hurt them.
The car thing is particularly onerous.........I'm at a loss as to what to tell you on that one.
As was said earlier - this is a private property rights issue, and while with running a business there are rules and regulations that must be followed - this is changing the rules AFTER the game has started.
I'm very unfamiliar with New Jersey politics and it's legislative process.
If you've got some specific questions or could get me a link to read the proposal I'll be more than happy to see what I can do .............but I suggest that you do so via FReepmail.......my postings on smoking threads are frequently monitored by some anti-smokers I've tangled with over the years.
