WoW! Who Lives In State Rep. Mitch Greenlich's District? No Wonder Our Budget Keeps Going Up!!

For reminding us of how far we've come since restaurant smoking bans, the January 2013 Nanny of the Month goes to Oregon Rep. Mitch Greenlick (D-Portland)! But 2013's first nod goes to the northwest nag whose new bill, if passed, would expand the drug war by categorizing cigarettes as a Schedule III controlled substance (along with LSD). You'd need a doctor's prescription to get your mitts on tobacco products (including cigars), and if you disobey, you could be looking at a fine of $6,250, up to a year in prison, or both! Our nation's nannies, scolds, and buttinskies started 2013 with a renewed hunger to mind other people's business. Lucky didn't pass. Our State needs the sin tax!
