"We have selected some new revenue to bring us to the $250 million target," said Sen. Peggy Rotundo, D-Lewiston.

Earth to Peggy - NO you haven't.

1. People will buy on-line from a certain Indian Reservation that will not release it's records.
   
2. Other's will just stop smoking.

   And I hope you're sitting down for this one Peggy.....

3. The state will see a DECREASE in tax revenue from cigarette sales.

Well said!  The more they raise it, the less revenue they will see.  They already shot the goose that laid the golden egg.

Wonder how much these idiots are drinking now-a-days! I don't see them going after alcohol.  Hmmm wonder why that is!

If it's the same one I use, they have a great phone system as well. No on-line records "ordered" by the tyrannical judges.

Correct you are. . . I wonder how long it will take for some Maniacs (I lived there so don't bust my chops) to head South with a U-haul to buy low and sell low and make a fortune?

They pulled the same stunt here in Germany and sure enough the people worked around the system. Strangely the economic minister was moaning earlier this year about the loss of revenue. Poor lambs.
