We could of all guessed this one.

The "people" of Fort Wayne "HAD" majority voted into council who campaigned to "revisit" the smoking ban to "get elected".

Back peddling politicians, "Glynn Hines D-6th district" and to our surprise, "Tom Didier R-3rd district" now unsure about changing the ban.

Micro-managing the people of Fort Wayne continues to drive FORMER city councilman "John Crawford".
He is now, "hard at work getting supporters of the restrictions to send letters to the council".
We know the "supporters" of the ban have not nor can they support every local adult business in the city of Fort Wayne.

We did our part, our voice WAS our vote!
It's now time to hold each of you who campaigned to "re-visit" the city smoking ban "if elected" accountable in getting this opinion ban back on the ballot.

That includes Glen Hines and Tim Didier. Didier now says, he might abstain from voting on an amendment because of his job selling food to bars and restaurants. I do not recall Didier mentioning THAT part to be re-elected?

Abstaining from a vote because of conflict of interest didn't keep councilman Tim Pape's vote silent on the Second baseball diamond downtown, (Pape works for the firm hired by the city on Harrison Square, he was also the most vocal in support of Harrison Square, of course. I wonder, does Pape's law firm hold box seats at the new baseball diamond being built also)?

Tim Pape states, "it would make more sense to focus those efforts on a new topic".
Don't you get it? Business owners in the city of Fort Wayne who are struggling to make a living have no bigger topic right now! We have our hands tied with higher taxes, higher gas prices, politicians who reap the rewards of box seats at a second baseball diamond downtown while the "people" are left with the bill.

Amend the smoking ban in our city to allow business owners that cater to adults the CHOICE to be smoke free or smoking. Let the "adults" in the city decide which business they will support.

Local grocery stores used to have 1-2 aisles of alcohol on the shelves, there are now several aisles of alcohol, why? Do the math!

Our vote against political micro-managing said, you had become politicians and no longer representatives of "we the people".

Do we REALLY have to write a letter to "elected" city council to REMIND them what got them elected or re-elected?

We're not opposed to STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS again!
