    Yahoo News ^ | 16 October 2002
    A proposal to ban smoking in all workplaces in Boston has not met with much controversy. NewsCenter 5's Kelley Tuthill reported that since Mayor Thomas Menino proposed the ban three weeks ago, there has not been much of a response, according to city officials. The ordinance would make all workplaces smoke free, including restaurants, bars and clubs. The ordinance will be voted on by the Public Health Commission. "We haven't received as much input as we expected we would," commission member John Auerbach said. "We received a number of letters -- scores of letters -- and the letters are...

    "Send A Student To Minnesota! DSA’s national electoral project this year is the Minnesota Senate Election. Together with YDS, DSA’s Youth Section, we are mobilizing to bring young people to Minnesota. Minnesota is one of the few states that allow same day voter registration. We will therefore focus our energy on registering young Minnesotans. Wellstone will need a high percentage of young people to register and vote for him if he is to stave off the campaign that Bush, the Republicans and the Greens are waging against him. He is the Right’s Number One electoral target. Because we are focusing...

Crea said he will turn over his videotape to Duluth police today and file a complaint against Wellstone and the unidentified assailants.</p>
  • California beats smokers into submission.

    In 1998, when California became the first state to ban smoking in all indoor public spaces, business owners and regular folks howled their objections. Restaurants and bars would lose customers. Social rituals would be stifled. Freedom of expression would suffer. Now, nearly five years later, the California restaurant industry is celebrating profits that have grown steadily since the law passed. Protests have diminished to wimpers. Indeed, as Nassau, Suffolk, New York City and Westchester legislators debate the first anti-smoking laws in New York State, some California jurisdictions now are taking the ban a step further. Take, for example, Berkeley.
