NANNY STATE PING!!!!!!!!


For those unfamiliar with the name of this letter writer, Audrey Silk is a retired NYC Police Officer that basically jeopardized her job (and pension) to fight Bloomberg on the smoking ban. She was also the Libertarian candidate for Mayor last year........she obviously didn't win because the bloominidiot is still there - but at least she tried.

I've sold my bar in upstate NY. 30% of my business went away in July '03 and it never came back. I dealt with that, just as I dealt with the Draconian DUI laws.

The reason I bailed out is because I can't predict what this screwed up state is going to do next.

There is some indication that the ban in Philly may be dead, at least for the next year or two. It is apparently dead in City Council since they can't come to some compromise over this issue. Even if it should pass, I would expect it to be by only a 1 or 2 vote margin. (Also, I'm not positive, but I think they may have lost a yes vote when Rick Mariano was convicted of bribery and corruption.) And yesterday, on the local news-radio station, KYW1060, Mayor Street basically said he wouldn't sign the bill if it passed because, to paraphrase, "the neighborhood wouldn't let him come home if he did such a thing." So, even if it passed, I doubt they could over-ride a potential Street veto. Of course, that could simply have been his way of letting the anti-smoking lobby know that sufficient payments hadn't been received to ensure that he'd sign it!

Don't fall for the lies, Philadelphia. Individual owners will lose their livelihoods, and no one will hear their cries after the fact.

Add St. Paul to the Phillie list also.

The restaurant and bar owner's plea for an extension was denied.

Whats a few lost livelihoods when a nanny can achieve the pinnacle of "self minded doer"?
