It looks like his name is Apeter.
Oh my.
Not sure if related but my work network blocks the domain for being a “Bad domain; Contains possible pornographic references”
lol.
So what does HB 510 mean? Does that mean local governments can set distance requirements as they see fit or does it mean there will be no distance requirements allowed?
Hmm… so it not just banking regulations…

Trump lost this one. To his credit, he is trying to keep his promises. The way I see this, this shows no cuts in social-welfare programs will be allowed. You want entitlement reform? NEVER will happen. Try it with SS, Medicare-aid? You’ll see some poor soul who’s gonna be hurt. Protests, if not riots will ensue. John Lewis bellowing from the House Floor that health care is a “right.” It ain’t a right. Any more so than Bush’s vote buying Prescription Drug Benefit scheme. Thank you, Nanny State.
