As if NYC wasn't already hitting rock bottom, State Assemblyman N. Nick Perry decided to present new legislation that relates to the removal of cases, contacts and carriers of communicable diseases that are potentially dangerous to the public health. In other words, the shit we typically see in movies and hear about in Armageddon-like scenarios is possibly becoming a reality in NY state. Granted, I know this is a bill and needs to become law before anything else, but remember that once a governor receives a bill, he can sign it, veto it, or do nothing. If he signs it, the bill becomes law. If he does nothing, the bill becomes law without his signature. If he vetoes the bill, and the Senate and House of Representatives do nothing, the bill “dies.
Take a look at this proposed bill and let me know what you patriots make of it.

I'm going to seriously look at a permanent move to either Florida or Texas. Florida I am very familiar with and have property there, Texas is also starting to sound very attractive.
