The new Tam/Garcia sponsered bill that will be heard in commitee
Thursday morning to impose a $500 fine and/or 6 mos. in jail for being too smelly on our city busses is getting nationally 'aired'.
The penalties mentioned are of course the maximum and as in all cases are usually far from met. Just removing the offender should suffice in most cases. It's a rather broad application, will be a can of worms for law suits, and it's only getting proposed as rail is coming into view when it should have been addressed years ago per The Bus.
Too bad it's just the relative few that cause the problems, and getting them off the bus doesn't always alleviate the stench, as often the smells are ground in and left behind in the seat fabric, to which The Bus then uses an equally bad smelling cleaner to cover it up.
This should be fun...
