Oh jeez. Really important shit here:

Action in Trenton: N.J. lawmakers consider bills on tanning, cell phone use, Internet gambling and more

LOL…you think they might have some rather more important issues to attend to.

Here’s another one… Charles Schumer is all over the maple syrup problem we are having…

Schumer introduces farm bill amendment promoting maple syrup production

…The amendment allows the secretary of Agriculture to introduce grants to states and tribal areas in an effort to promote maple syrup production through education and research, natural resource sustainability within the maple syrup industry, market production and efforts to expand maple sugaring activities. The secretary can also issue grants to states and tribal areas that make land available for “maple-sugaring activities.”

Last year he was on to this huge issue too. Guess what happens if you sell fake maple syrup?

…The amendment isn’t the first piece of maple syrup legislation Schumer introduced. In November 2011 Schumer, along with five other senators, including Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), introduced a bill that outlawed selling fake maple syrup. The Maple Agriculture Protection and Law Enforcement (MAPLE) Act made selling fake maple syrup a felony offense with a penalty of up to five years in prison.

Heh.
