VFWs are private. That judge has no Constitutional standing, but then, this country ditched the Constitution a long time ago.
The title you made up: “OHIO — STILL NO SMOKING FOR VETS IN VFW HALLS” was not the title at the source and had to be changed.
Please do not alter titles.
More abuse of the law.
This judge has no problem overstepping his constitutional authority; but then again why should he? Everyone else in his profession is doing it.
What part of PRIVATE does the government not understand?
These veterans may opt to defend their country one last time.
I don’t know if it was used in this case, but in other ones, the legal angle was that private clubs still cannot expose their employees to secondhand smoke.
The way around that is for clubs to not have “employees”, but instead to have “shareholders”, rewarded for work in shares redeemable for money. The club owner retains 51% of shares.
Interestingly, this can be more profitable for both clubs and their “shareholders.” This is because the club can act almost like a bank with the shares, paying better interest than any bank, in the form of dividends.
So if the shareholders have any extra money, they leave it in the club instead of cashing in their shares and putting it in the bank. In turn, the club can invest the value of those shares in high-yield investments.
This means that the club has a big pool of liquid assets that can be used for capital improvements instead of taking out a high interest loan itself, saving it lots of money.
Best of all, a lot of VA club owners can invest through USAA, so they can get a big rate of return.
Ping all for us, SheLion, please!
