Capitol Confidential is reporting that Governor Spitzer just vetoed a bill that would have allowed Segways on roads and sidewalks. The governor gave a bunch of lame reasons for keeping them illegal, most of which boil down to he’s only happy when he’s stopping other folks from enjoying themselves.
Serf City columnist Bob Armstrong was a long-time activist for legalization of the Segway’s downtown cousin, the motorboard. That is, until he finally got fed up with it all the nanny-state bullshit, moved west, and traded his scooter for a horse.
