I have to give the Cal Assembly some Credit. At least they Didn't try to Hide things... much.

Call a Bill which calls e-Cigarettes/e-liquids as a "Tobacco Product". And then throw up your hands and say that All we want to do is make e-Cigarettes/e-liquids a "Tobacco Product". It doesn't do Anything. It's just what we want to Call it.

Then Call a Bill which Opens up Local Taxing on.... Wait for it.... "Tobacco Products".

Hummm? I wonder if those Local Taxes would include e-Cigarettes/e-liquids?

There are some good questions being asked. Greg is nailing them down!
The freebase comment he made about smoking might come back to haunt, but other than that he was incredibly effective, not on the vote obviously, but the voters were a tiny minority of those in the room. And then add in those who watch, and who will watch.

EDIT: The voters I was referring to are those who were entitled to vote on the bill.

Not sure why. The the comment flew over their heads anyway.

I really can't listen anymore.

The truth of the matter is that they never intended to listen to reason. This was not about e-cigarettes at all. They got their marching orders from Gov. Moonbeam to find 1 billion dollars--pronto. And that's what they are doing.

Everything else is dog and pony, smoke and mirrors, whatever. It's all about the bottom line.

Brown is an idiot. He was an idiot the first time around, he's an idiot now. The rest of them are just stupid knee-jerk pencil pushers. Shame on them all.

So there. I feel better.

I need a cig.
