Smoking ban sends folks to food banks

I heard on the radio that the Community Harvest Food Bank is almost out of food because of hard economic times. One has to wonder just how many of those people collecting food may be unemployed thanks to the City Council.

Cindy Henry said in the September issue of Fort Wayne Magazine that 22 bars have closed since the City Council banned smoking in bars and private clubs. She also said she employs 16 people. If all 22 bars have 16 employees, that amounts to 352 people and their families who can thank the City Council.

What happened to all the non-smokers who couldn’t wait for the bars to go smoke-free so they could enjoy the night life also?

Ladies and gentlemen, I have no comment. This level of abject stupidity must stand on its own merit.
