Reports on Detroit TV stations and in Lansing political newsletters say the fact the state Senate’s version of HB 4163 contains no exemptions — not for tobacco shops (which almost every other state does) not for cigar bars (which many states do) and especially for Detroit’s 3 big-money casinos is a problem with several lawmakers.

It may not be voted on even next week.

Your welcome.

I’m not a huge fan of Mexican food so we don’t eat at a lot of Mexican places. Appreciate the suggestion and if the mood ever strikes, we’ll check it out.

Thanks for keeping up with this. The local media has been (not surprisingly) quiet on this, so it’s great to find the info somewhere that cares about the issue.

Okay…another restaurant recommendation. Have you checked out the new Fiesta Charra location over in East Lansing/Okemos on Grand River? We moved here from Colorado in August, and it’s far and away the best Mexican we’ve found here so far. There’s a couple of interesting quirks (including their ongoing saga of trying to get a liquor license), but all in all it’s a great experience, and the folks working there are extremely friendly.
