State Senate Voting on Butts Bill
Senator Carolyn Tomei has introduced a new bill to the Oregon Senate Tuesday proposing a law that would make cigarette butt littering illegal. The law is proposing a fine of $90 dollars and possibly 60 days of community service.
Opponents are calling it a waste of time, and I have to agree. Oregon is going through its worst unemployment rating in twenty years and a budget crisis that will lead to state agencies being cut by 20% . It seems the Oregon government is more into pet projects than helping out our failing economy.
