NY is a special kind of nanny, from the county level right up through Albany. [emoji35]

I do hope we have some forum members who live nearby and can go to that public hearing. If I lived close enough I'd be there.

Do the local vape shops know about the hearing? They can put up notices and inform their customers to attend.

I haven't been in Tompkins Co. in probably 30 years. I would think they have a vape shop or two, the county has a little over a 100,000 people in it, and Ithaca has a lot of businesses.
