Temerit said:Who put the amendment in the bill?
It's in the story:
Sen. (Max) Baucus from Montana, and he received donations from Altria, a parent company of Philip Morris. Interestingly enough, there are also no RYO machines in the state of Montana. It really makes me question the morals and values of our elected speakers.
Baucus is the ranking Senator from his state, and one of the senior Democrats in the Senate.
