Thanks for the transcript of Ms. Bartmann's testimony, David. I figured the reason why she didn't ban smoking at her establishment was that she wanted a level playing field. Reasonable enough. But city-wide bans will only give suburban restaurants the competetive edge.
Let's get going on a state-wide ban to truly level the playing field. It's my understanding that Representative Phyllis Khan wants a smoking ban. Could she initiate legislation for a state-wide ban? ---------Peter Schmitz Downtown St. Paul ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
