Good news PING

Good news from my home county!

[Clemenza]

patrons who smoke are going to nearby Suffolk where a similar ban will not take effect until 2006.

Yep, doing the Huntington pub crawl I gather!

This means that folks in NYC, at least in eastern Queens, will be crossing the county line to smoke in bars and restaurants. Sort of like dry counties in the south.

Smokers could give that pendulum a big boost if they expressed their outrage nationwide.

The Liberals have many activist groups, Greenpiss comes to mind, to steal our freedoms one little right at a time. Conservatives are too nice to rock the boat the way Liberals do.

If smokers were to "Act Up" the way the transgender crowd does, all this silliness would come to an and.

#1...... Good news indeed, but I suspect the bas...ds will just repeal the old law.

[Just another Joe]

"I would be willing to suggest to our caucus that we conform our law with the state law, so that there is a level playing field," said Nassau Presiding Officer Judy Jacobs (D-Woodbury). "That was always our intention."

The truth comes out.
The smoke-free establishments aren't competing very well with the establishments that allow smoking so they want, "a level playing field".

We can't compete! Save us Big Daddy govt!
