A couple of questions:
1. Had the vote been the other way, would you anti-smoking ban folks still be advocating a vote by the public?
2. How do you avoid a conflict of interest in a small town such as Emporia?

If the city doesn't approve the ban then I want to hear the reasons why and it better not include the words "owner's rights."

I am curious about a couple of things:
I've seen a couple of posts that imply some of the commissioners are in the pockets of CAE. How do you know this?
How is it that the two commissioners who apparently oppose the ban represent the everyone in Emporia while the other three only represent one side?
Not looking for a bashing. I just want to see if I have missed something.
By the way, I am sad about Natasha's. It looked like an interesting place.

Pretty good, Josie, but you left out the distinction between private citizens and public figures and public officials. It does make a difference.
Also, you forgot to mention how it is determined or "tested."

Rbow: Sad for Ryan. And it is not just I who believes in the dangers of SHS. There are plenty of authoratative reports by reputable health agencies that point to the dangers of SHS.

Hey Ryan,
Before you begin suffering the effects of second-hand smoke -- and it is a good bet that you will -- ask your employer if he will back you by paying your medical bills. Afterall, if you are so loyal an employee that you are willing to inhale the toxic fumes from cigarette smoke, then surely he will be the loyal employer and help cover your bills.
Let us know what he says.

Just for the record, isn't it a majority of a quorum?

Steve:
"I don't think that is greedy.."
Putting profit over health is greed. Doesn't matter how much you give to other causes.
"And where in the world did you get the impression that those opposed to this ban were just business owners?..."
Same place the anti-ban folks got the idea that the pro-ban people were Country Club, rich-side-of-the-tracks elitists.
