When the Delaware Clean Indoor Air Act was passed by the state legislature and signed into law, bowling centers in the state were fearful it would hurt their business.

Center owners and managers were concerned about two things: The sudden flight of longtime league members who smoke, and attracting new bowlers to fill the openings left by those dropping out.

A sampling of several of the centers shows the feared flight of league players has not materialized.

Who did the sampling???? And what is their agenda???

A sampling of the pool leagues, generally found in bars will show that most that existed at this time last year - either don't exist or are playing in Maryland or if they have stayed in Delawre are utilizing the Elks and Moose Lodges.

Who did that sampling? - the owners of the bars that have lost their pool leagues. You won't see that printed in the News Journal - because the editorial position of that left wing rag is totally in favor of the ban and will not print anything that shows the ban to be hurting business.
