smoking ban

Did the Pittsburgh smoking ban pass? Why is this hard to Google for?

I'm not sure why it's hard to google for, but the answer appears to be "yes" -- despite the moronic state house trying to scuttle it by passing a bill to exempt the casinos from this county ordinance.

That's great, and long overdue.

Why difficult to google for? I don't know - isn't Pittsburgh some kind of information universal attractor? Somehow I always find it difficult to get information on whatever is connected to Pittsburgh :)

I suppose there's that the two local papers are in shambles, and the TV stations don't care about anything except "little old lady SADISTICALLY RAPED AND MURDERED by her cat."

Someone told me it had been vetoed... despite the fact that a 14-1 majority can veto the veto. But no reliable sources!

Um... did you click on the link I sent? The third, fourth, and seventh links all indicate Onorato signed the bill. My quote is from link #3. Link #7 is the county press release on the issue.

Thanks. I guess I'm spoiled, since I expect Google's first or second hit to break it down for me.
