Dick Codey is my hero
 Come April 15th, New Jerseyans will finally be able to breathe in bars thanks to the 64-12 Assembly vote in favor of the smoking ban, a bill that will be the final gold star on the uniform of departing Governor Richard Codey. Exempt from the ban are bars that generate at least 15% income from tobacco sales and, since protecting gambling revenue is more important than protecting workers' health, casinos. From the New York Times: Assemblyman Joseph Cryan, a Democrat who represents Union County and whose family owns Cryan's Pub in South Orange, was one of those leading an effort to weaken the bill's chances by making it stronger. He had said he was considering offering an amendment that would have subjected casinos to the smoking ban, but it never materialized on Monday when the ban was presented for a vote in the Assembly.Asshole. Once the ban goes into effect, expect heart attacks to go down and noise complaints in some neighborhoods to go up as smokers will be forced to go outside to partake. Bonus legislation: the year-long moratorium on the ol' death penalty. 0 Comments:
