A surprise bid by the City-County Council president to pass a stronger smoking cigarettes ban covering bars and bowling alleys -- in the waning days of the Republican majority -- has caught two key groups off guard.Democrats had been making plans to push for an even stronger measure after they take control of the council Jan. 1. No matter who's in charge, their votes are vital for passage of an expanded smoking cigarettes ban in any form, since many Republicans are opposed.And anti-smoking cigarettes advocates called the move by Republicans -- with backing from Mayor Greg Ballard --...
Tobacco is all farmer Daniel Johnson knows; he's been growing it for 28 years.He uses a cigarettes online harvester to launch his leaves into a hallowed out school bus.He jokes that school buses are the cheapest form of transportation known to man.But even if Johnson's named Georgia Farmer of the Year a third time, it won't be enough to save his crop from one of the driest harvest seasons in decades. "You can't compete with what the good Lord's gonna send ya," Johnson said. "I don't think we've ever had this much heat and drought at the same time. In the same season."Johnson walked me...

Forty-seven years have passed since the surgeon general first reported that smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer. Since that time, cigarettes use has greatly declined in Montana and across the nation. Much of this decline is attributed to tobacco-related policy implemented by federal and state governments.Evidence-based policies that decrease the number of youth who start using cheap cigarettes and increase the number of adults who quit using tobacco include: increasing the price of all tobacco products; eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke; and funding comprehensive tobacco-use...
Senators had an amendment feeding frenzy on an education finance reform bill offered up today by Sen. Steve Ogden, the Bryan Republican who chairs the Senate Finance Committee.
The bill’s original intent: Increase revenue for public schools and higher education institutions by $30 million for the next biennium. The bill will still do that, but it will also allow college students to carry concealed handguns on campus, increase the cost of cigarettes and allow drastic changes to university administration.
Those are only the amendments senators adopted. Other amendments came from Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury, who attempted to require undocumented Texas residents to pay out-of-state tuition rates; Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, who tried to discount electricity rates for school districts; and Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, who attempted to repeal the deregulation of college tuition. Those, plus others, were tabled.
An amendment battle between Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, and Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, also played out — and both won. Earlier in the session, Zaffirini killed her own bill, SB 5, after Wentworth amended it to include his "campus carry" provision. Zaffirini successfully added the provisions from SB 5, which would eliminate certain university reporting requirements and reduce administrative costs. And after much debate, Wentworth added the campus carry provision.
Senators also adopted two amendments that affect the Permanent Health Fund — $420 million cigarettes online companies have paid Texas to cover the expense of cigarettes-related illnesses. The first, by Sen. Kevin Eltife, R-Tyler, would take $100 million from the fund to restore funding for health science centers at higher education institutions. Looking at a total reduction of $320 million, each of the 10 health science centers would receive a boost of $10 million from the fund.
The second, by Sen. Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, D-McAllen, would restore money to the fund by placing a $2.15 fee on all cigarette packs sold by “nonsettling manufacture companies” (i.e., the big companies like R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris). Under a 1997 settlement, these companies agreed to pay Texas a lump sum every year based on national cigarette sales to pay for cigarettes-related illness. Hinojosa said lower cigarette sales had reduced the amount of money Texas actually recoups, and that his amendment would “make them pay their fair share.”
