Get breast-feeding rights in their workplaces. people in illinois who make crank 911 calls will have to reimburse local governments for the cost of responding. and back in california, anyone who rides in public on a hoverboard must be at least 16 years old, must wear a helmet, and can only ride on streets with speed limits under 35 miles per hour. too late to help former heavyweight boxer mike tyson. but for one analyst, states are the proper starting point to experiment with new law. >> whether...

Sanctuary cities to exist. think its time for conservatives to create their own sanctuary cities. where choose a certain location, where every law-abiding gun owner can carry in public. or perhaps create is a sanctuary city, where you could smoke anywhere you want. or maybe we could have a city, no speed limits. each one of these examples is breaking the law, but we have a precedent here, it is okay to break the law. so lets do it. i want to see the first nude village. i dare milmilpitas, califo...

>> the congress can spend money however it wants. it cant regulate however it wants, but it can spend however it wants. if for example it wants to lower speed limits to 55, it cant enact the law, but it can offer money to the states and cities and say in return for this cash, you have to lower your speed limits to 55. and they often accept that money because theyre cash strapped. in this case, the congress has through a variety of grants given cash to the cities already. it wants to impose strin...

Throttles and the then the train continued to accelerate thats one possibility, in my mind. the other possibility is just that it was an unplanned act. it was something that was overlooked simply forgot he was going into a turn. and the third possibility is some kind of inka passitation by the engineer. he was having memory loss. did that happen before or after the accident? >> were also learning that the engineer had been traveling the route for just a few weeks. do you think that could have pl...

About brandon bostonian, he was online ranting about the rail industry and the safety in the rail industry saying why dont they prevent this type of tragedy. he even talked about human error. i wish the railroads had been proactive from the get-go. the reality is theyve had nearly 100 years of opportunity to implicate some sort of system to prevent human error but with a few notable exceptions have failed to do so. it doesnt mean anything but it does stand out that this was a guy who was obsesse...
