The anti's won't give up easily though. They are just backing off to regroup. Ugh!
One for us.
Simple - ban non-smokers from places where smoking occurs. Shouldn't cause any problem as they don't want to be around it anyway.
Now I'll also think of freedom when Rhinelander is mentioned.
Way to go Rhinelanders! Down with Prohibitionism, Up with Liberty!

This is a great victory, without a doubt! Those of us who are familiar with Wisconsin politics don't find this all that much of a surprise though. Rhinelander is about as far from Madison as you can get, in miles anyways. Madison is the San Francisco of the Midwest, but unlike California, Wisconsin is much more conservative outside of Madison. A little less known was a smoking ban proposal being defeated in Steven's Point a few months ago. We aren't all liberals up here in the Great White North!
Does this guy think that the people of Wisconson are dopes? That a bunch of smokers outspent the organized forces of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation? What a liar!
The results of the advisory referendum will now go to the city's Protection of Persons and Property committee at its next meeting.
So this was a nonbinding referendum anyway. Watch the CPPP (city Protection of Persons and Property. Strangly reminiscent of the old Soviet Union, eh?) do "the right thing" and pass the ban anyway. For the chirrun, for the workers, don'cha know.
Swearingen said the Be Fair group supports a state-wide effort to “level the playing field, so we don't have any islands.”
Why is this guy using the language of the antis? Once you allow them to define the debate, you've lost. Is he a modern relative of Al Swearingen of "Deadwood" fame?
The Protection of Persons and Property Committee?
Is Hillary running this thing?
Do they meet in Pyongyang?
