Moments after the state after the state of the house unanimously voted to ease the state cupcake crackdown. Talk about hitting the nerve of government. Reaching in the far in the people's lives. This this is an example of someone I actually I didn't know what she was she had spoken out but should Cory Atkins was one of the people I was think about who probably really thought this was a good idea. I mean remember. Cory Atkins comes from Concord the time that is just decided to -- law. Bottled water. The town that wants to have a a -- that's asking the legislature for the right to impose a yet our own. Income tax. How is that how was how was the cupcake man and he still -- -- than banning bottled water. Or putting in a -- eight yes 88 pound wide income tax. If you if you at a town it is the way -- about that for a second if -- disposal was a in compacts in Concord. And you do you think that would.

About the role schools should play in the battling childhood obesity which supporters have said is an epidemic threatening to shorten the lives of the country's youngest generation.

But a bit BM past as an amendment that -- -- this supplemental budget -- passed the senate and be signed by Governor Deval Patrick so. I want hobby that you feel by this I mean again that the problem here I mean it's it's been stopped. But. The larger problem is that you have these people. In the bureaucracy. And you know they are right enabled by there by the the Liberal Democrats who think this this is a good idea here. You know this bigger than just a hole laid back in the weeds for a while but this is not this is -- Because they're gonna make a move -- look at Concord Concord try to be and one or balls didn't work the first couple times and now -- -- water -- -- You know we're gonna come they're gonna come back after this. This is like that this is just a local version of that that EPA yeah. Yeah you know why that the just got fired and he said you know we said the -- when they're dealing with private industry what they do is they do what the Romans did when they took over town and we call it Turkey. Was smoked Turkey back then as the Turks were somewhere in Asia was in at only. But by that point was said the goal went to -- a small town. In and it just a crucified few people a few Turks and the and the whole town would be manageable for few years. And so -- so he was basically saying you have to crucified few industries and so there's -- what they're saying is so what these bureaucrats were basically saying is you know they have to crucify a you know. A few war a few things that people like to teach them lesson. It's like it's -- after the bureau tax that this did decide to. What what you eat and in the that the -- the words they use I mean that -- what they were. The that. It freezes were dead giveaways you know they say they -- in one of the regulations in the original story in The Herald they quoted him saying that. They didn't want. Competitive foods. Meaning competing. Against those -- malicious. Cafeteria. Offerings you know.
