For anyone who hasn’t had enough of the smoking ban talk, the city announced today it will re-broadcast the Wichita City Council’s two-hour discussion that led to a 4-3 vote in favor of a smoking ban in all businesses that allow people younger than age 18 to enter. The debate, which features about 15 speakers who waited hours to voice their support or opposition to the ban, will air on cable channel 7 tonight at 8 p.m. Then the city will put it on at 9 a.m. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and at 6 p.m. Saturday, Sunday.
You can also view it online. (It wouldn’t play in my Mozilla Firefox browser, but it worked on Internet Explorer.)

Thanks for explaining about the browser. While Mozilla is much faster and less prone to virsuses than IE, I have found I need to also open my IE browser to play some games and video. And I have not been able to play the city video’s. I wonder if this is why I can’t play the Eagle’s AP videos. And I’m glad I didn’t stay for the smoking discussion.
It’d be interesting if one of the comments spoken about in the meeting was actually used by restaurants and other business. That is, charitable events may be exempted from the ban.
How many restaurants and business establishments will have donation jars set out on the counter and a poster at the door designating that a charitable event is going on?
Will be interesting to see how many business start losing money because of the new ordinance. I wonder if the City can be sued over income loss in this matter. Well, sued successfully.
