Cheap shot, in my estimation. It was the Co Commissioner's job to listen
to, and evaluate, new testimony relevant to the smoking ban. Such
re-evaluation may lead to revised thinking by some Commissioners, and that's
no crime. Special interests on both sides of the issue are holding fund
raisers and making contributions. It just may be time to get out the
high-tops!
Dennis Plante Responds:
While I do nt condone the language used in the RT press release, I think
Michael brings-up a relevant point... It is indeed Commissioner PM's job
(as co-chair) to listen to and evaluate new testimony relevant to smoking.
Such re-evaluation may lead to revised thinking by some commissioners,
including PM.
The question that needs to be asked - was PM's campaign out soliciting funds
from bar/restaraunt owners prior to this testimony being evaluated under the
premise that he had already switched his vote? It's a fair question...
