Seriously. I can't tell you how many people I see everyday on their phones. What's the point of these laws of they aren't even enforcing the laws we have.

The capitalist class in today's day and age expects the political class to bow for everything they capitalists want.

its quite the stance to take to say "clearing off vehicles is too difficult" when you could easily kill someone

Growing up in MN I always thought Paul Bunyan was a Midwest thing…weird! Don’t you know how the Mississippi River was formed? Paul Bunyan dragged his Axe behind him on his way south. Why does MN have so many lakes? Those are Paul and Babe’s footsteps.

Bill gives 48 hours to clear the snow and ice. Seems like it’s the first 12 hours or so when most of that comes flying off.

I agree with the bill but sadly I expect law enforcement won't bother enforcing this law, like they don't bother enforcing pretty much all the other traffic laws.

I am NOT using a snow rake on my car!! I do, however, have an awesome brush/scraper with telescoping handle that does the trick nicely.

I think my main concern would be police over enforcing it and using little meaningless dustings as an excuse to pull over whomever they wish.
Certainly not a fan of people who don't clean of their roofs but I can't think of an easy way to write this that would avoid misuse. Then again I'm not a lawyer.

So, I briefly worked across the road at Hollywood Casino at the command center and we have limited view from the surveillance cameras (surveillance is a separate gestapo unit) and sometimes on a slow night surveillance will wait til you're not looking at your monitors and set every one of them to be a close up of Paul Bunyan's face from one of the parking garage cameras

If anyone wants to be amazed, look it up to find out what wounds he lived with for 50 years....

A very special fuck you to Tim Doyle, vice president of the Maine Motor Transport Association, who said his group is opposing the bill because it presents too many “challenges.”
Yes - being safe is a challenge compared to being reckless and lazy. Doesn’t mean you get to say “fuck it” and put other people in danger. I’m so tired of these business/industry folks opposing the most common sense, mutually beneficial shit because it might hurt their bottom line a fraction of a percent. It’s how shit like the train derailment in Ohio happens.
