It's About Damn Time

In his "State of the City" address this week, Little Rock Mayor Jim Dailey expressed his support for a smoking ban in local restaurants and workplaces. You might recall our photo-op-loving governer passed on a chance to enact a state-wide smoking ban a few years back. He's attracted the ire of a certain Indy Grotto ever since.

Anyway, the New York Times published a report on the effects of the smoking ban there a couple weeks ago. The news: business has improved in restaurants and the smokers are saving money on dry cleaning bills.

The stories are archived here:
