Yes.  If elected mayor I would sign a  smoking ban that included all bars and 
restaurants in St. Paul. 

I sent a letter to Mayor Kelly clearly outlining that position and encouraged 
him to sign the  ordinance passed by the St. Paul City Council  in September, 
2004. This was a position I advocated in the papers and to my colleagues on the 
county board before we passed our version.  I supported a total ban at the 
county level but the votes weren't there to pass it.
