(01-07) 09:58 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- Kimberly Conley and Amandeep Jawa don't have a car, so they use their Mission District garage to store their bicycles - in direct violation of San Francisco law.

The couple, along with probably thousands of other San Franciscans, are scofflaws because of a little-known section of code that bars people from using garages to store anything but automobiles. The law went unnoticed until three months ago, when San Francisco attorney Gary Rabkin commented on its ridiculousness on a website dedicated to presenting city laws to the public in an easy-to-navigate format.

On Tuesday, Supervisor Mark Farrell will propose a measure to scrap the garage code - but he's not stopping there. This new year, Farrell has resolved to use that website, www.sanfranciscocode.org, to clear any unnecessary laws from San Francisco's books and to tweak laws that need updating.

Look like San Francisco is off to a good start for the new year. Good for them!
 
Long-Shot Bill Would Allow NH Voters To Vote ‘None Of The Above’
February 1, 2014 9:42 AM

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A bill that would add the option of choosing “none of the above” on New Hampshire ballots seems like a quintessential proposal for the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state that prides itself on having discerning voters.

But even the measure’s sponsors say it’s probably doomed, with one acknowledging that it would be humiliating for a candidate to be defeated by no one rather than an actual opponent.

If none of the above is too hard to understand when they're aligned horizontally, they should just use nobody instead.
