Last year in Maine, the Department of Public Health
sent violation notices for smoking to all licensed restaurants in an
effort to obtain additional $$$$$$$$. It was a
$100.00 fine. They collected it from most of the chains
and larger restaurants who figured it was cheaper to
pay it than to fight it. A local resaurant tried to
fight it with the Dept of Public Health to no avail,
it took a phone call from the local state rep to shut
them up.

Boy, I wish I had known about that. You guys living in southern Maine have to keep me up on this stuff.

Once I hear about it, it's too late.
