Solving New York's Budget Crisis - Cage Fighting?
* A $1 increase in the cigarette tax, raising the state tax to $3.75.* A new soda tax that will cost consumers 1-cent per ounce -- a 16-ounce bottle will cost 16 cents more, a 64-ounce bottle 64 cents more.
* The governor also plans to legalize and sanction cage fighting.
* And allow wine to be sold in grocery stores.
* And introduce 50 speed cameras on highways to catch unsuspecting motorists with fines of up to $100.
I'm all in favor of selling wine in grocery stores - and I know Wegmans will jump right on that. Maybe he means that he's going to sanction cage fighting inside the New York State Assembly. THAT I'd pay to watch.
