THE STRAW THAT WOULD BREAK A POOR SERVER'S BANK ACCOUNT
In the state with America's highest poverty rate, a new law would mandate jail time and fines for servers who give patrons unsolicited plastic straws.
Ian Calderon, the DEMOCRAT majority leader in California's lower house, has introduced a bill to stop restaurants from offering customers straws with their beverages unless they specifically request one.
Under Calderon's law, a waiter who serves a drink with an unrequested straw in it would face up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
The California cities of San Luis Obispo and Davis both passed straws-on-request laws last year, and Manhattan Beach maintains a prohibition on all disposable plastics.
The Los Angeles Times has gotten behind the movement, endorsing the laws in an editorial that warned that "repetitive sucking may cause or exacerbate wrinkles on the lips or around the mouth."
Ironically, in California, knowingly infecting someone with HIV is no longer a felony.
