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?

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.
