The San Francisco Chronicle reports that patron self-check machines at the public library in the California community of Berkeley might not be serviced. 3M, the company designated by the manufacturer as an authorized maintainer, refused to sign a nuclear-free disclosure form required by a local ordinance. The library asked the city’s Peace & Justice Commission for a waiver of the Nuclear Free Berkeley Act requirements and was denied.
Conservative bloggers Kate McMillan and Mark Steyn flagged the story at their respective blogging sites.
Berkeley
Berkeley your silly law is having no effect. Just making a pain for the members of your community.
no surprise, it’s California.
now where the hell is that story about the mom-and-pop publisher who got the purchase request from a California university for one copy of a book, but the PO was attached to 10 pages of requirements??? the guy went on to reply that he can’t guarantee a certain percentage of minority employees because the company is just he and his wife.. and there were many other regulations the publisher had to agree to… so he sent back a note suggesting that the university just buy a copy of the book from a local bookstore.
