Inaugurating a new series dedicated to the weirdnesses of state laws. I suppose they’re a reflection of the oddballs who sometimes end up in the State legislatures … but it takes a whole collection of them to pass these laws.
Anyways, first up is Florida. I find in my morning an invitation to sign a petition. Turns out Florida REQUIRES … well, here’s the quote:
Florida gambling facilities don’t even want to hold greyhound races in the first place — but they’re required to by a state law that mandates dog racing.
Really makes you wonder who benefited from that state law. If you’re interested in signing the petition to repeal this law, here’s a link.
