Senate Transportation passes out another nanny-state bill.
This morning, Senate Transportation passed Representative Willadsen's ridiculous Republican counterpart to Democratic Representative Ahler's equally stupid car seat bill.
House Bill 1189 is yet another attempt to let us all know what's best for us, because apparently we're all too stupid to know anything without government intervention. As I've previously noted, the bill required kids older than 5, but younger than 8 to be in booster seats, despite the fact that it's yet another government mandate of telling people how they need to live their lives.
And, the Senate committee passed the measure out 5 to 2.
Gant, Garnos, Sutton, McCracken and Gary Hanson all voted to perpetuate the nanny state, with Napoli and Kloucek properly voting no.

If it affects him, or if it's something he cares about, he's the most vocal and ardent supporter of individual choice.
But if it's something that doesn't matter to him, or that he might disagree with, he sings a totally different tune.
Oblivious.
I notice you believe that they will be wiping peoples asses for them next.
How about this scenario. Lets say your fearless Republican leaders ban toilet paper. 'Toilet Paper is a crutch!' they cry. They justify it by saying that people have been wiping their own asses for centuries without the benefit of toilet paper. They want to return to those good old days of tp-free America. Let the people make their own choices on what to use as a substitute, market forces and all that.
Of course, the wealthy Republicans will be above all that. They will keep the luxurious two-ply Charmin all to themselves. They've earned it you, see. Not the huddled masses yearning for a clean butt.
Republicans would rather have American sitting in their own shit rather than give them the 'nannyish'toilet paper.
Will the last real Republican in Pierre please turn out the lights?!?!!!
The legislature has failed in the past to pass legislation to require the use of headlights during inclememt weather. That would maybe prevent some accidents.
Something else to consider, if you happen to have a large family, say mon dad and six young kids, how can you get them all in the car if 3 or 4 of them are under age of eight? Now we are making mom and dad lawbreakers for taking their whole family along.
