Some of the worst hit places in Delaware,

Seems that the Delaware Restaurant Association SUPPORTED the ban on smoking. Sort of deflates your argument.

Yes, they supported it to "level the playing field" with the bars that allowed smoking. Send out your next strawman will ya?

Once again, which of the restaurants on the list did you call and confirm that they were open for lunch?

As you can tell, I have waited until you posted on this board to ask the question. The lack of answer from you indicates that you are purposfully ignoring the question, not that you are not seeing the question. Since, I have reasonably assumed that you made the calls and have reasonably been patient, I can only assume that your lack of answer shows that you are unwilling to answer. Your unwillingness to answer tells me that you are purposefully posting lies on this thread. If you do not answer the question this time, your entire posting on this thread can reasonably be considered moot.

I suggest you come clean or leave the thread!

Actually it further supports my arguement because the DRA represents less than 400 establishments owned by less than 200 people - the vast majority of which are the big chains. There are more than 1700 restaurants in Delaware.

The only reason the DRA agreed to stop fighting the ban was because the bars were added to the ban. There are only 101 of them in Delaware. The small business man gets screwed again with the blessing of people like yourself.

I've got an idea: I don't know Florida politics and since you live there you may or may not. You don't know Delaware politics, but I have spent the past 20 years involved in it. You stop spouting crap about the Delaware smoking ban unless you have all of your facts and history correct and I won't discuss the smoking ban in Florida with you.
