Pretty excited, I’m taking the train from Chicago to Kalamazoo to visit a friend this weekend. First time taking my bike on @Amtrak #bikechi ➡️ #bikezoo 
Journey started on the @cta blue line from Jeff park. I forgot how many stairs there were at the Clinton stop lol (4 flights!) but there’s a nice bike path for the last couple blocks to union station!
Arrived early just in case, and got a little ticket for the bike. They announced a delay but then the line started moving and we ended up leaving pretty much right on time anyway! So far so good 😊
Consider both state/federal government want to tax a life-saving smoking cessation method after collecting BILLIONS in smoking revenue, not using it to combat smoking and thus failing to do so. Government penalizing smokers for overcoming government failure. This must not stand.
In last week's hearing, @SenAricNesbitt responded to your propsed vaping tax with his starting point at zero%, as a rule, @jimananich. I commend that, in general, but this proposed tax is different. You propose taxing someone for saving their own life.
This after Mi has collected BILLIONS to combat smoking and spent it elsewhere. Mi greed failed Mi smokers. Mi smokers are saving their own lives and you seek to penalize them for your failures. If you want more revenue, additionally tax the #1 killer of Michiganders, not the cure
