While I'm definitely not a fan of Rybak or Kelly, I'm behind them 100% on this issue. Instead of holding their feet to the fire on the smoking ban we'd be doing everyone concerned a favor by leaning on Governor Pawlenty and his pals to support a state-wide smoking ban. A smoking ban passed by the council members of Minneapolis and St. Paul will only give Pawlenty what he wants: More revenue for the suburbs at the expense of the cities.
Thoughtful politicians ought to be subverting Pawlenty's vision,instead, too many of them are acting according to his wishes.
