Six years ago- -on her first visit to a nail salon- -Carol Webb discovered certain chemicals can cause a toxic reaction in some people. She had acrylic nails put on at Top Nail Salon.
Her own nails peeled off and never grew back.

"Even though ... petitioners believe that the Governor's revenue forecast did not comply with statutory requirements ... "
" ... and even that the Governor 'sidestepped' procedural safeguards, it is void of language allowing the court to infer bad faith on the part of the Governor ... "
