Good post Shelion, Do you happen to have an email, snail mail, or Phone Number were as freepers can send letters of protest to this outrageous Maine Smoke Shop???

I would love to send my 2 cents worth of comments!
God bless!

Probably just bowing to the maddening pressure not to sell tobacco to anyone who might possibly be under 18, thanks to the moronic uses of the cash from the Tobacco settlements (not that it mitigates the ignorance on the part of the shop owner).

I’m curious, in PA we have an embarrassingly stupid “Compliance Alliance” campaign to identify and fine shop owners who sell smokes to under aged people (or those without ID). Is this a national thing or just something that Pennsylvanians are subjected to (the Compliance Alliance campaign)?

Friendly suggestion:
Leave.
Move to Texas (San Antonio is loaded with military types) or Florida.

Don't stay/move to any state adjoining Massachussets.
Too many "Mass-Holes" are infiltrating those areas.

Do they also tax the retirement pay of the state workers that have retired from the state payroll?

If not, the taxing of other retirements may be disallowed.

Here in Alabama, my military retirement cannot be taxed by the state, simply because the state does not tax retired state workers.

A court case from a few years back. Don't know all the details, but I do know that the state had to refund a few million to those that they had previously collected from.

Check it out, it may have been a precedent-setting case with application to other states.
