Senators Debate Smoking Rule Costs in State Senate
The figure of 7000 dollars per session at ten dollars per minute is cited for daily suspensions of the anti smoking rule. Eliminating the rule could save that sum, with reinstatement possible by one third vote. Senator Haskell adds six cases of matches to the potential savings. Senator Benson notes ongoing contention unless the rule is removed entirely, which finally occurs. The total time cost to the state is about 150 dollars based on Skromme's estimate.
