A CHEW BAN -- IN ARKANSAS, OF ALL PLACES?

Wow, the leg has so much to do with education, fending off the Dobsonites on the gay foster-parent issue, on and on and on...yes, they still have time for this...hmmmmmmm

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A lawmaker said Wednesday she'll try again to clean up the House rules that ban a cup of water on a desk but allow a day's worth of tobacco juice.



Rep. Pam Adcock said she will propose next week a ban on chewing tobacco from that chamber's floors or committee rooms. Adcock contemplated seeking the ban during a committee meeting earlier this year and said she would push for a state law in the 2009 session banning chewing tobacco throughout the Capitol.



"It's just going to be easier and quicker to get it done this way," said Adcock, D-Little Rock.

Read on and you might find that some of the leadership doesn't even know if anyone in the leg actually chews tobacco. Was an example of personal legislation?
