And the black market is starting to boom. This is just a horrible tax increase for the adults in New York City who choose to smoke.
And Bloomberg is a CONSERVATIVE. Go figure.
Uh, no he's not. Mayor Pothead was a Democrat until he got the bug to run for Mayor and didn't want to run in the Primary. The only conservative that was in the mayoral race was Herman Badillo. He was beated by Bloomberg's billions in the Republican Primary.
Bloomberg is a RINO.
And it will be people like Audrey Silk (quoted in article) tha will be caught in the cross-fire. New York's Finest will be stuck enforcing the laws against the black marketeers.
I'm thankful I had enough sense to get out of the city of my birth many years ago.
Bloomberg was never a conservative, nor even a RINO in the usual sense. He is a life long liberal Democrat who for reasons of convenience ran as a Republican. He was a big fundraiser for Bill Clinton.
