 Craig Westover: Hennepin County abridges property rights
Hennepin County on Tuesday became the fourth Minnesota county to adopt a ban on smoking in public places that serve food — and it endorsed a policy that is more stringent than the one enacted in Ramsey County last month.
By a vote of 5-2, the county's commissioners approved an ordinance that prohibits indoor smoking in all food establishments and makes no exceptions for bars that do most of their business in liquor.
Commissioner Mark Stenglien, who along with Commissioner Penny Steele voted against the measure, got it right when he noted that small tavern owners would be “devastated” by the commissioners’ actions.
