But I would do this with a list comprehension or generator
expression (depending on your Python version):
lines = [line for line in infile if line[146:148] not in omit_states]
print '\n'.join(lines)
That's very helpful. Thanks. One formatting detail: there is a blank
line after each line printed, how do I ged rid of the extra blank lines?

print '\n'.join(lines)
or alternatively
lines = [line for line in infile if line[146:148] not in omit_states]
print ''.join(lines)
Just remember that doing a list comprehension like that on a large file
will drastically reduce the speed of your application as well as
introduce memory bloat.
