This is just as relevant for St Paul as Mpls. What is happening on this in StPaul? Kelly (crucially aided by Chamber of Commerce candidate Montgomery) has tried to drop it in a wastebasket for the rest of his first-and-last term as Mayor.
I see no reason why I have to either breathe smoke in every bar, or stay home, until Kelly is gone. What do the other candidates for mayor in 2005 have to say on this issue? Which of them will commit to a smoking ban? --David Shove Roseville ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 05 Jul 2004 21:14:19 -0500 From: Chris Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Mpls Forum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Mpls] Massachusetts goes smoke free Point of information for Minneapolis in its consideration of a smoking ban. A statewide indoor smoking ban covering work places, bars and restaurants went into effect Monday throughout Massachusetts, and public health officials said they plan to aggressively pursue violators. Smokers face a $100 fine for each violation, and business owners who allow smoking in their establishment face fines of up to $300. Massachusetts joins five other states -- New York, Connecticut, Maine, Delaware and California -- with statewide bans.
