Huge boom in cigarette smuggling... REPORT: Over half cigs sold in NY from black market... The lessons of higher taxes and prohibition are lost on liberals - unless you talk about weed - and then they become highly trained sociologists & economists.

R.I. state police take over House Speaker Fox’s office .................................................................................................................................... Prov Journal ^ \| 3/21/14 \| Catherine Gregg PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Federal and state law enforcement authorities took over House Speaker Gordon D. Fox’s State House office Friday morning, carrying storage boxes and a bag marked “evidence.” Rhode Island state troopers took up positions outside the office just before 11 a.m. They were followed just before noon by other investigators, including some wearing IRS jackets. The troopers would not answer questions about why they were there nor would they allow reporters into the office. They referred questions to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Jim Martin, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said the office, the FBI, the state police and the IRS are engaged in a law enforcement action which included the execution of a federal search warrant Friday morning at a location he would not disclose. Larry Berman, Fox’s spokesman, said he had no idea why the troopers were at Fox’s office. Meanwhile, the door to Fox’s law office, at 32 Custom House Street, was locked. A piece of plywood had been nailed over a section of the door near the lock. ......................................................................................................................................................................... Just heard about this on WPRO 630 Prov RI. I'm sure you're wondering what party Fox belongs to: WIKIPEDIA: Gordon D. Fox (born 1961) is an American politician from Providence, Rhode Island and the Speaker of the Rhode Island House of Representatives. A Democrat, he was first elected to the legislature in 1992 and was elected speaker on February 11, 2010.
