Mayor Bloomberg Promotes Transfat Ban

The New York Sun reports:

Saying the trans fat ban was a matter of public health, Mayor Bloomberg offered an impassioned defense of the proposal as he campaigned with Senator Lieberman yesterday in Connecticut."Government does have a responsibility to go and to try to improve the longevity and the quality of life of its citizens," he said, citing the prohibition on lead in paint and asbestos in buildings as examples. "There are times when it becomes so important that the government just has to say ‘No more.'"

In NYC,the state is God on earth.There's just no limit to the Nanny State in some places.
