Smoke Em Out

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Are you for or against a total smoking ban in Marion County?   We you’ve got a chance to voice your opinion.  City-County Councilor Kent Smith is holding one of three town hall meetings a comprehensive smoking ban on next week.

The meeting will be held Monday, February 16 from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. at the Irvington Branch Library located at 5625 E Washington.  I know the anti-tobacco people will be there in droves since they lost their first round over at the General Assembly, so if you want to make sure your side gets equal time, I’d make it a point to be there. 

By the way, they’re also targetting City-County Councilors who they think will vote against a total smoking ban, but apparently they’re using the same form letter with different addresses so it “looks like” there is widespread support for the ban, when in fact it’s the same handful of people over and over and over again.
