This can't possibly lead to anything good. Seems ClearWay Minnesota (our version of the Gestapo) is coughing up cash for the following:
• $516,171 for a study on secondhand smoke migration in apartment buildings.
• $309,452 for legal research and a survey of property owners on smoke-free residential options for condominiums.
This is without a doubt the beginning of a Belmont, CA style push to ban smoking in people's homes. |

Yup, looks like it to me, it's happening everywhere.
If people don't get to their town-city-state government and fight this - all liberty is lost.
This is not just about smoking.
The sooner people figure it out the faster the bleeding will STOP. |

Wasn't most of that money Clearway, Minnesota is coughing up supposed to be for offsetting the extra healthcare costs smokers are supposed to cause?
Do you know what the idiot, Jeanne Weigum who runs Clearway, Minnesota, does in her spare time?
It appears a couple of weeks ago she was driving down the street and noticed a tree had been cut down, so she falsely accused a billboard company of doing it with no evidence whatsoever.
See, another one of her "causes" is outlawing billboards: http://www.twincities.com/ci_7520463?source=rss&nclick_check=1
Beautification activists argue that the newfangled LED signs distract motorists and shouldn't be allowed at all.
"They are unsafe. They are ugly. Why would we want them?" said Jeanne Weigum, a member of the anti-billboard group Scenic St. Paul.
Obviously since she's calling something ugly that means this fat pig has never taken a look in the mirror or at a photo of Dave "Lardass" Thune. Who does this bloated sea-urchin think she is deciding for everyone how everything is supposed to be. No one's elected her to anything. I'd say someone has way too much time on their hands. |

Well, all brainwashed antis are the same to me. I'll let JEEP_GOD's post above mine do the adjective talking about how I feel about such people. 
As for what runamok said about ClearWay Minnesota, I'm hardly surprised at all to see they've started the next step in their anti playbook. |
