[Pamela Taylor]

My two cents for the day - sunny Forida has a ban, too.  I love it!

[TB] Within the last few weeks, I had a conversation with one person
whose office is on the 3rd floor of City Hall who told me there is some
concern that such a ban would put Minneapolis at a disadvantage in
drawing business to the city. It was suggested during that
conversation that a ban should be statewide.

Perhaps the Mayor’s spokesperson should step outside her cube and learn
what’s going on.

[TB] We’re certainly not leading the charge here. California and New
York City both have bans.
