Nah I think it’s more nefarious than that. They get campaign money (D’s and R’s both) from the liquor stores and whatnot. This is why supermarkets couldn’t sell liquor. I feel for the mom and pop shops, but at the end of the day most people are going to continue their habits of purchasing from what’s convenient rather than price. To mention big pharma and whoever else has an interest in this stuff not getting legalized.

That being said, as another commenter below mentioned, it’s both whack ass parties. We could be making more tax revenue that could be kicked back to useful programs or lower our taxes (an insane idea that could actually work) but instead we have a bunch of rich people running the poor show. Sucks.

How will the cameras handle off duty cops that are speeding? I assume police vehicles are exempt at all times, but what about an officers personal vehicle? No way police will allow themselves and their families to be ticketed.

In my experience, the (FL)ocals are a miserable group of bastards.

A lot of them haven't traveled or really experienced life outside of their town so to them they just don't understand why people are moving in droves.

If you have a decent career that can transition to Florida and won't have to live in a shithole, very few states can beat it IMO. Granted there are probably only 8 people in this world who hate the cold more than me. If it's below 60 I whine like a child without a nap.
