If this asinine county-wide smoking ban goes through, (on top of the sales tax increase, on top of the astronomical property tax increases) I will not only be doing all my shopping and dining out of county, but re-locating out of county as well.
The amount of utter stupidity that the elected leaders around here display leaves me absolutely no alternative.

Currently there is a drive to make Albert Lea Business Smoke Free this is to include all Bars.
I ask you a man owns a bar for 33 years he should know how to run his business.
The city never gave him any money to open it, and the one whining has never been to it, and probly never will.
I say we have a freedom to run our business the way we see fit.
I propose we post the surgen generals warning on the outside of the door should we choose to allow smoking.
You want revenue then you need to relize were else can you
smoke a fine cigar, " At The Bar".
We currently have a petition in need of 250 signitures at Eddie's bar which will force this into an issue at the ballet box.
I say and others say this is one more step towards sergregation.
All blacks to the back of the bus situation.
I say this is America, My Daddy fought in WW2, I fought In Vietnam and My son In Iraq.
We fought for freedom and we will fight you.
Friends of Freedom of Choice ....... keeping sorry ass goverment out of our business...

Just say no to drugs. Join my drug war help stop drug addicts from hitting up in public places. Their drugs float in the air where other non addicted drug users inhale their drugs.
Sir Walter Ralgieh was hanged in England when they found out what tobacco does to human lungs through cutting bodies open.
Stop the sale of Tobacco..Americas #1 drug killer!
Join my war on drugs!

Minnow--You are correct in that Raleigh introduced tobacco to England--and that he was executed (many people wouldn't have known that)--but not for smoking-related crimes. From Encylopedia Brittanica| Quote | | He met his downfall upon the accession (1603) of James I, who had been convinced by Raleigh's enemies that Raleigh was opposed to his succession. |
He was beheaded--not hanged--not that it makes much of a difference!  | Quote | | Some sources say on the day he was beheaded Raleigh was granted a last smoke of tobacco -- establishing the tradition of giving a prisoner a last cigarette before execution. |
He was famous for his final words upon approaching the execution block--"This is sharp medicine, but it cures all ills!"

I find it sad that I have to drive to Owatonna everyday to get a decent paycheck. I am in the health care field and make almost $10.00 per hour more there than in Albert Lea. And where I work, there are several other Albert Leans who do the same for the same reason. Jen, when you are deciding where to live and work, the pay will depend upon what field you are going into. Mankato, being a college town does not pay real well. The health care fields are similar to Albert Lea.
