Our old buddette, San Antonio's Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, the Democratic caucus leader, is at it again.
This time the liberal darling of San Antonio is sponsoring a bill, now moving through the legislature, that sounds more like New York, Massachusetts and California than Texas. It is a bill designed only to make the "greenies" feel good about themselves and to gather revenue for the state through monetary penalties (fines) rather than by direct taxation. The fines can be upto $25,000.
Remember, businesses do not pay fines and/or taxes, YOU DO.
This "do gooder" bill has many unintended consequences. The enterprises most likely to be affected by this ill-conceived legislation are grocery stores and mass merchandisers, Wal-Mart, Target, and the like. In short the places you spend the bulk your disposable income.
