Word on the street is that a number of smoking ban advocates will be in Lansing today applying pressure to lawmakers to pass a complete, statewide smoking ban.
Those who oppose this smoking ban will face a stiff test. Detroit casinos and charity bingos may or may not be exempt from a smoking ban depending on what the legislatures do. However, Native American casinos would remain exempt from any smoking legislation.
Again, while we see both side of this issue, it is our position that if Native American casinos will be unaffected, then charity bingos and Detroit casinos should be exempt as well. After all, these groups are in direct competition, and a ban over some but not the others is unfair.
3:50pm Update: No vote on this legislation will take place today. Stay tuned tomorrow.

I think these charities should have their tax exenpt status removed. They are using tax exempt money for political purposes. www.ihatoday.org/membership/smallrural/fundamentals.pdf
