That Damned Smoking Ordinance

Dear Editor,
   Today I read in the newspaper that the Filling Station has closed down. Apparently they had been losing customers since the anti-smoking ordinance was imposed in June. That ordinance also drove live music out of the Old Alligator Grill. The mayor and the members of the city council must be very proud of themselves.
   I was wondering when they will vote to remove the statue of Stevie Ray Vaughan from the shores of Town Lake? By the way, I don’t smoke. I am a supporter of live music, though. We deserve better from our elected officials.
