It looks like Wichita bars will keep their freedom. Thanks to Sheri and Linda for the letters to Mayor Brewer and the Council about the misery in Ohio. I think they helped warn Wichita.

No it’s a Charter bull dog .44 spl. I noticed that right after the...

Since a restraunt business has to buy a "restaunt liscense" to serve food or operate, why not give the Owner of the restraunt the right(s)to buy a liscense that allows smoking or no smoking? Why should the general public decide on how a restraunt owner runs their business, as the...

Even if the ban passes, the owners comply do you really believe that all will be wonderful? Julie Andrews will sing,"The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Music" prancing through your favorite local of mountain splendor? All the numbers and stats will never compare to nicotene addiction and those who choose to Smoke. Non-smokers, "Read This Twice" Nothing outside the individual can stop the process of...
