But this is not the agenda of pro ban. First the restaurants, then the bars, then the parks. Bars are closing in Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, Nebraska, ALL places that do not exempt bars. It is the end of the American dream for these long term business owners.<br /><br />That picture above is NOT a scare tactic. It is an empty bar. It is NOT a restaurant. <br /><br />Mayor Goldstein may want to tell the public about her relationship to the pro ban lobbyists. About how she and the Council had private meetings with pro ban long before ANY announcement was made to the public. LONG before ANY public comment was allowed.<br /><br />And she may want to prove how the health of the public has been improved.<br /><br />Pro ban said that health care costs would go down after a ban and that heart attacks would drop. That has not been the case in ANY place that forced a ban. NOT in Kansas, NOT in Colorado, NOT in Michigan, NOT in Florida, NOT in Illinois, NOT in Nebraska, NOT in Ohio.<br /><br />Since the media will not do their jobs and report the truth about this, and I am assuming that it is because of the advertising dollars from the pharma company that funds all this propaganda to further the sells of their Nicoderm, Nicorette, Nicotrol, Nicoderm CQ, and Commit Lozenges, people who WANT to know the truth and, after learning it, want others to know about all the lying going on by elected officials, and once respected charities, who are now paid off lobbyists for pharma, we who want the truth out, are doing the best we can to let citizens know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
