In a free society, the right to property is essential. Each owner should have the right to set the rules for his or her own property. People then have the adult choice to visit these businesses or not to visit them "freedom of choice" is a great thing and should not be taken away.

A City-County Council committee passed a smoking ban in a four to two vote. The smoking ban proposal now goes to the full council for a vote on October 26. The proposal would ban smoking in all Marion County businesses including bars, PRIVATE CLUBS! and bowling alleys.

I know that 95% of my business comes from smokers if this ban passes 10 people will be out of work and 10 more people will be on unemployment there will be one more vacant building in Marion county. the state and federal government will be out tens of thousands of dollars each year in tax revenue. My employees work in a bar because they can smoke now they will be forced to work somewhere that they cant. This is just my story. This will happen to a hundred or more other bar owners over the next year or two. The property rights of business owners are being taken from them. Business owners should maintain the final word on whether to allow cigarettes in their businesses.

In fact there wasn't even a bar argument this man was stabbed in the area next to the bar outside away from the bars control and off the bars property and came into the bar after being stabbed. That's the truth! I only wish that WISH TV would get the facts straight before assuming that this happened in or on the bars property. This is a great bar with a lot of good people and it is one of the safest bars in the area and doesn't need this kind of false reporting.
