The goverment has won the battle over the privelage to roll your own cigarettes through a machine to save tax payer's dollars.

As of July 6th(Friday)all of these operations will be shut down because the state goverment feels that those customers are avoiding paying the proper taxes to the state. This has been won in a law suit that has been pending.

There is a website www.portal.state.pa.us that shows the tax dollars which brings in the revenue of the state of PA. The goverment is not satisfied of the $9,512,646 in revenues of cigarettes. So they must shut down these businesses down to keep bring up there revenues and to keep the PA population where they want us.

For around $45 you can buy a little hand-operated "tube stuffer" and still roll your own.

I stopped going to Rollies after I found out tobacco and tubes were cheaper elsewhere.

Daily Horoscope for June 19

Sagittarius

Don't be surprised if a member of the family is unpredictable or does things on the spur of the moment today. There's nothing to worry about because they won't do anything too alarming or disruptive. In fact, their actions will be like a breath of fresh air and they may even help you to escape from a current rut. So don't hesitate to be that little bit different yourself, either.
