[Terrell Brown]

Mayor Neil Giuliano of Tempe, AZ says we're being lied to about the
effects of the clean air ordinance there.

He says "I was very disappointed to read that Greg Ortale of the Greater
Minneapolis Convention and Visitors Bureau (Op Ex, March 23) is
spreading false information about the effects of our clean air ordinance
in Tempe, Ariz."

And "In fact, a recent Tempe Convention and Visitors Bureau study asked
visitors for their reaction to Tempe's no-smoking ordinance. More than
84 percent of respondents said the ban on indoor smoking was a positive
attribute of the destination."
