A part of what it says...............


A Westport lawmaker who voted to hike the state sales and alcohol taxes was spotted brazenly piling booze in his car - adorned with his State House license plate - in the parking lot of a tax-free New Hampshire liquor store, the Herald has learned.

Michael J. Rodrigues’ blue Ford Crown Victoria, emblazoned with his “House 29” Massachusetts license plate, was parked outside a Granite State liquor store on Interstate-95 South over the weekend, according to a witness who provided pictures to the Herald.

Surprise anyone?

Nope, doesn't surprise me at all. Shortly after the Chicago City Council passed their draconian no smoking ordinances, I attended a party for one of the Chicago bosses. The smoke hung thick in that banquet hall.
According to the staff, the attendees of two weddings the week before were forced to smoke outside the legal distance away from any doorways.

Laws don't apply to the lawmakers.

Absolutely! Just as they have better retirement than social security and have exempted themselves and their families from participating in Obamacare. It's good enough for us peasants for not the royalty.

Sounds like our biggest mistake was in not running for a political office.
