A News & Observer story related to the ongoing smoking-ban debate includes this passage:
“I was actually waiting for the bill to be passed, because then it
wouldn’t be in my hands,” said Tina Bolick, who turned her Skylines
Cafe in Clayton smoke-free a week ago.
It’s a bad sign when a business owner wants the government to make her decisions for her, especially when the article’s next sentence proves that she knows how to make these decisions on her own.
“But in today’s economy, people are really choosy with where they spend
their money, and I don’t want to not be on that list because of smoke.”
Perhaps Ms. Bolick should have a chat with Becki Gray about the downside of a government-imposed smoking ban.
