here we have lafayette and west lafayette separated by the river. west is where purdue u is. west tends to be a bit more liberal due to all the professors living there. both citys tend to have conservative democrats as mayors. (is there any other kind of dem in indiana?)

a year or so west tried to pass a non smoking law. the bar owners raised such a ruckus that it was repealed before it passed (or similar). it was put on a one year holding pattern????

but now many restaurants are going non smoking voluntarily.

as a person very sensitive to smoke, they cant pass no smoking laws too fast for me. smokers tend to be pretty inconsiderate. throwing butts everywhere and such.

some are considerate. thank you.
