Brian Dalton, co-owner of PatrickТs Steakhouse, said his main concern is the loss of personal choice and legislators making those choices for the public. Dalton remarked that discount cigarettes are a legal substance and how legal substances are used should be the discretion of the individual. He encouraged the audience to write their legislators, saying it only takes five minutes and Уthey need to know where we stand.Ф
COBRA Vice President Gordon Carroll, owner of Club 110 and The Odeon, said State Rep. Polly Bukta reportedly stated that when one smoking bar closes, another non-smoking bar would open in its place. Carroll said he knows the smoking ban would greatly impact food and beverage service establishments in the state, as evidenced by the closing of several Illinois bars and a plummet in casino revenues.
