You have got to be kidding me. FB is the reason why we have so few people as it is and now we have a CW Facebook page?!
I am really beginning to hate FB and I got a really good laugh when the stock only went up a few pennies today.

It's a contributing factor, but not the only reason, not by a long shot.
I know I'm under scrutiny at work, can't hit up CW during the workday, anymore. It also allows me to make quick contact with a lot of people in the industry, should I need to.

"...The initiative proposes to create a committee of bureaucrats who will manage the supposed $735 million dollars... there is a surprising amount of discretion left to these bureaucrats and how they will spend the money...Also, the proposition cannot be touched for 15 years. The governor and legislators are prohibited from making changes to it, even in the case of waste or mismanagement..."
Gonna be some significant under-the-table money given to whoever has the say as to who gets on that committee of bureaucrats...

Yet another Boondoggle dressed up as a "Good Deed" or a "If it saves one anything it's worth it" bill.
The You cannot change it fo 15 years. THAT Alone tells you how questionable this is. I don't know many legitimate legislation's that need that kind of locked time frame, to be effective. 15 YEARS! They want to Kill tobacco in Ca and don't care about anything else! It's a targeted, calculated, Punitive Attack, by anti tobacco, in a thinly veiled disguise. The authors offer no regulation or accountability or even any actual quantifiable stated goals. They only seek to price tobacco out of the market, like in New York. This will cost Biliions, THAT'S BILLIONS, before it would even be allowed to be modified. UNCHANGEABLE! That's some Badd Ju-Ju there. This bill is Dishonest, Deceptive and Dishonorable and these liberal creatures have no conscious or sub-conscious decency. I tell Everyone I know about this.............. Smoker or not. You should too, because if it passes , there will be a similar one coming to Your neck of the woods very SOON! NO! ON 29! slack
