What in the motherfucking hell is wrong with these people?
Washington state, like most states, is way past broke. Yet its tyrannical "legislators" continue to impose more rules, requiring more paid regulators, and making it more likely that tax-paying businesses will continue to leave the state.
Idiocy 1:Health advocates believe that it should be illegal to smoke in a car with kids in it and SB 5016 aims to do just that. No one signed up in opposition to the measure at the Senate Transportation committee today where it received its first public hearing.
Idiocy 2: State Senator Comrade Debbie Begala, Hero of Pol Pot Labor, proposes a ban on all wood stoves in the state. The proposal is full of exemptions for various privileged classes, so the net result would be very little reduction in pollution. It would only add jobs for regulatory tyrants (who love enforcing exemptions even more than they love enforcing rules) and would make life difficult for businesses that sell stoves and fuel.
