Smoking bans and dead Chinamen...

Credit is given where credit is due...Rick Alm of the Kansas City Star features a devastating look at the smoking ban on the casino industry in Illinois. January 1st of this year marked the beginning of the state's total ban on smoking. In just under two months, Illinois casinos have lost revenue - TO MISSOURI CASINOS!

The reason? Smokers are heading across the border to smoke and gamble legally in Missouri. Some casinos are already laying off employees in Illinois to compensate for the loss.

The question for Kansas City voters on April 8th: Will you support the ballot initiative that will shut down and destroy small business? There's now more proof that a yes vote would do just that. Not to mention creating massive layoffs and unemployment in an already dicey local economy.

Dead Chinese on display in Kansas City - get your tickets now! Hey, where'd all these dead folks come from anyway?
