Big surprise that Kelly vetoed the second smoking ban. It addresses everyone of the concerns in his first veto and he still goes ahead and vetoes it.
Where are those Kelly supporters who said that Mayor Kelly was promoting a regional-wide approach? Where is the regional approach now that Minneapolis and Bloomington and Saint Paul have different ordinances? Please explain to us how feuding bars, every bar and restaurant, that wants smoking, will now say that 50% of their sales are from liquor, creates a regional solution. I, for one, will never set foot in Mancini's and Fabulous Ferns again. At least not while Nick Mancini is alive and Charles Sinkler is involved with Fern's. I think I will start to ask all establishments, "Do you allow smoking" and if they do, simply not patronize them. Maybe after the election is done, we can gather a list of places that still allow smoking, or maybe the City should be required to publish such a list, so we know what places to avoid, as public health hazards.
