Davis suggested that Hillman is swaying votes because he has previously accepted money from the tobacco industry.

Sure.  Anytime someone wants to help private business owner's and to stop the economy choking smoking bans, we are accused of working for Big Tobacco!  This is a blatant lie!

The bill's sponsors lined up several key industry groups, including the Colorado Restaurant Association, to support the measure.

I rather have someone smoke in front of me than chew tobacco. I nearly fainted when a man expelled his mouth contents into a paper cup in front of me *lol*

Senate Minority Leader Mark Hillman of Burlington said all 17 Republican senators are opposing the bill because it infringes on personal freedom and property rights.

Republicans with cajones? Nah, can't be...

Doesn't matter anyway, they're going to starve us all to death for smoking.

"I don't smoke, and I think it's disgusting," Hillman said. "But I'm sick and tired of all these nannies running around telling people what to do."

Finally!!! Somebody is getting it right! Taking away the rights of business owners has got to stop! If one doesn't want to be around smokers in a bar or restaurant that allows smoking, then don't go in the establishment. Your choice!

The bill's sponsors lined up several key industry groups, including the Colorado Restaurant Association, to support the measure.

And, their donations toward the smoking ban speaks volumes!

This is a blatant lie!

You are absolutley correct.........especially in light of the fact that Philip Morris refuses to step in and oppose the issue of smoker bans.

A primary tenet of fascism is state control of private property.

Hooray for the conservatives in Colorado.
At least there are some left with the cajones to stand up for the rights of business owners.
