I would expect that of Texas, perhaps one of the last places in America that can be rightly called "land of the free, home of the brave".
Unfortunately in the Peoples State of Washington, the voters ask to have their rights limited and the government is just to happy to comply.
The smoking ban here in Washington has caused a lot of bars in the Spokane area to under, and most of the others are suffering a lack of business as well.
We've now got a new law to conted with. All bars in this state have to install sprinkler systems by Nov 1 of this year. Nobody is grandfathered in. The one bar I do in Washington is looking at an estimated $50,000 to install them. The owner has pretty much decided that with business patheticly slow as it is that she'll never recoup her costs, so she's probably going to bag it at that point.
