Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) MONTPELIER, Vt. — A bill seeking to ban the use of cellphones for anyone under the age of 21 was introduced by a Democratic state senator this week as Vermont legislators gathered in Montpelier for the first day of the 2020 legislative session. The bill, introduced to the Judiciary Committee by Sen. John Rodgers (Essex-Orleans), would make the possession of a cellphone punishable by up to one year in prison, a $1,000 fine, or both. While several states have placed a ban on people under 21 years old using their cellphone while driving, none have introduced an all-encompassing age limit. https://www.wmur.com/article/vermont-bill-would-ban-cellphone-use-for-anyone-under-21/30475725 Edited January 11, 2020 by Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XC.Morrison Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) I think he's only doing it because he is pro gun and is using this bill to serve as a corollary to how ridiculous he thinks the ban on any under 21 owning a firearm is. So technically, you all should be applauding him. He knows it won't make it past the judiciary committee. "I'm not going to push for the bill to pass," he said. "I wouldn't vote for the thing. This is just to make a point." That point: In Vermont, it's illegal for anyone under 21 to buy a firearm. Rodgers suggested that the same age restrictions should apply to cellphone use. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/10/politics/vermont-senator-cell-phone-ban-trnd/index.html Edited January 11, 2020 by XC.Morrison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XC.Morrison Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 He actually seems like a pretty interesting guy: "I'm not a sheep," said Rodgers, who appears perfectly comfortable with his outsider status. Growing up, he said, "The hippies thought I was a redneck and the rednecks thought I was hippie, but I got along with all of them, and it's been sort of the same in the Statehouse. Some of Democrats think I'm a Republican and some of Republicans think I'm a Democrat, and I get along with all of them." Though he can exasperate his colleagues, "It's impossible not to like him," Baruth said. "He's roguish and charming." https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/in-race-for-governor-sen-john-rodgers-stands-his-ground/Content?oid=18653393 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bussman Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 If you can’t buy guns, smoke or drink until 21 then you shouldn’t be able to vote then either. Or join the military. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
