Oklahoma Senate is considering a bill to continue the ever-dangerous Santa Ctaus Commission. During the House debate over the commission — set up to buy gifts for inStitutionalized youths —a dissenting member said it was nothing but a reward for “thugs.”” “Howwouldyoujustify in your mind to some taxpayer who had her purse snatched that the rest of your tax moneyis going to be spent on some thug,” argued ep. Denver Talley, DChickasha. The House didn’t listen, however, and voted 91-3 to approve the commission another year and sent the bill to the Senate. In Tennessee, Rep. Harold Love, D-Nashville. said he will offer a bill that would allow junior high school and high school principals to wear guns.

Thebill before the Maine Legislature would authorize the state Board of Barbers to issue special mobile barber shop licenses. “Certain areas of the state presently have no licensed barber shops and this bill would permit barbers to service these areas in mobile units.” California legislators are debating a bill to make Gov.
