A potpouri kind of day...a lot of interesting things going on at the GA but nothing that jumps at you and says WOW!

Hugh Holliman is trying to pass another smoking bill. This time it would ban smoking in buildings of all the UNC campuses. It would also ban smoking on university health campuses altogether. It passed through the House Health Committee but still has a ways to go. Holliman also wants to ban smoking in restaurants, bars, and work places. It hasn't seen a vote because there aren't enough votes for it to pass. Holliman acknowledges he's 20 short or more.
