Now that he's Lt. Gov. elect, he's not pandering to the
micro-managers, crackpots and child haters on the Board of Stoops.

The council will most likely pass it over his veto. They have the
votes to do so.

It's already the law in Santa Clara County, which seems determined to
take the crown as the Nanny State leader. Now you cannot smoke in your
non-detached home (applies in unincorporated areas only). I guess they
feel the lower classes should not be smoking anyways. Light up my
Cohiba pls.

I can understand "micro-managers, crackpots," but child haters? Come
on.

He probably wouldn't have made the gesture of vetoing it if he wasn't
going somewhere else, but I'm glad he made the gesture.

I heard that on the radio yesterday, but I thought it was a ban on
smoking in apartments, condominiums and townhouses - not detached
houses. Who is going to enforce the law in this day of cutbacks? My
guess is that it will be put at the bottom of the pile of all the
other unenforced laws already on the books.

You read his post wrong. It doesn't apply to detaches houses. A
better thing would be to have apartment buildings designated from the
get go.

Agreed that apartments should be designed and *built* better; and
you're right, I misread.

They'd never get elected if they said it publicly, but oh yeah. Child
haters. I don't remember what they call themselves (I think they have
their own newsgroup too), but they're the ones who call the rest of us
with children "breeders" in a very derogatory voice.

Those are usually retirement communities for crotchety old people.
Eventually we'll have housing for younger people that bans children
too... if they don't apply for federal funds to build the joint.

I don't think I could take it yet. The Cheney years are still too
close (and scary) for me to be dispassionate while viewing.

Are there even any unincorporated areas of Santa Clara county?
Maybe some areas of Hwy 9 or Stevens Creek Damn, or maybe the
marshes/ponds. But do those areas even have any apartments or
duplexes?

Nothing like a law that applies to nobody just to grandstand.

So if you prove you live in one of these places, you can get a toy with
your Happy Meal?
