Fort Wayne City Councilman Dr. John Crawford is running a campaign ad on local television outlets regarding his bid to serve on council one more term . The campaign ad addresses his justification for leading the battle for the new no smoking ordinance. As all to common today, he spins the ad to justify his needs.
Crawford's ad fails to show one business which allowed children in a general smoking area before this new law. Nevertheless he attempts to paint a picture of such as he spins his story.
He offers a person thanking the new smoking ban of making her employer's place a better place to work. One has to wonder why did she go to work there in the first place? I don't remember that we have any laws telling a person where they must work. Then again it would not fit his spin!
Dr. Crawford does not address how he pushed through a 100 foot no smoking zone past the property lines of the local hospitals. Reading the law, Dr. Crawford had it written people walking the PUBLIC sidewalks, on their own private property, or just driving down the street could be issued a ticket because they where within 100 feet of a hospital property line.
People should ask why? People should ask why nursing homes, medical clinics, and doctor's office included? The answer is just one hospital wanted it for their own private reasons and that involved their own employees. Then again this would not fit Dr. Crawford's spin.
Dr. Crawford claims the health of the citizens is one of his major concerns in public life. However, he has remained totally mute on OmniSource's leak of chlorine gas. Even though this potentially deadly leak sent many people to the hospital he found he could not speak up.
Believe it or not I do support the no smoking ban outside of private clubs, bars, and providing special extended treatment for a few. Dr. Crawford has had my vote in all his previous elections, but not this one. This time, there will be no spin!
