Our firehouses aren't exempt either.

Good grief.

Apparently the VFD lobby is stronger than even the racetracks in Delaware.

The exemption for the fire companies was in part an appeasement because originally the bars and tracks were to be exempt..............but it was also appeasement because they had fought against the slots at the tracks for so long because of what it would do to their bingo. Of course no one came to the defense of the Senior Centers and Churches about their bingo. Many of them have shut down because the fire companies were attracting all the smokers.
