You beat me to posting that one Chris
The best quote there is:
"The Legislature makes the law, and we enforce the law," said Carol Hockert, director of the department's weights and measures division."
It really makes you wonder to what extent they would go if the Legislature said so. And then I shudder when I realize that someone like Ms. Hockert would probably follow those orders to a T, even if it meant abusing other people. Despite their conscience, those with even a little bit of power will follow any order so as to retain that power.
