Smoky and the Hypochrites

The Governor announced on Friday that he is banning smoking on Statehouse and Government Center property. Except for the smoking room on the third floor of the Statehouse which is for use by House Members only. And the multiple "smoking" legislator offices on floors 3 and 3.5 of the Statehouse. And the public hallway on the fourth floor, where former Rep. Mark Lytle was spotted smoking two years ago. And anywhere outside, so long as you are important. If you are not important, you are required to leave the premises. It is for your own good, really.
