Governor Jerry Brown vetoed the bill that would have required humans under 18 years of age to wear helmets at California ski resorts.
I think that the Govie was seeing things the way a lot of us Californian’s do when he said:
“not every human problem deserves a law.”
I thought the bill was just another attempt of the government to control every goddamn aspect of our lives. A lotta other humans thought it a good way to protect kids against their parents. So, where do you think this veto leave us?
As we talked about in a previous post about the CA Helmet Law, there would have been no feasible way to enforce this law. Especially with a measly $25 fine. It would have been a ridiculous waste of everyones time and a money loser for the state. A state, mind you, that is only 375 Billion Dollars in debt…
The helmet bill was SB105 written by Senator Leland Yee, a democrat from San Francisco. Leland has “statistics” that show that 1/2 of the reported ski resort deaths are due to head injuries.
The Governator vetoed a very similar bill to this one last year.
