I heard today that this bill has an uncertain future in the senate and even accross Culver's desk. Surprisingly, Culver was only a proponent of local control, not a state wide ban. And there is still a lot of upset over the fact that casinos are exempt.
I'll be emailing all of my congressmen tonight to tell them to vote against this intrusive law. I would still be against a local control law, but that may be what we get. That way forward thinking DesMoines can feel good about doing something

and the rest of us can enjoy a cigarette at the end of the day.
