Let me smoke in peace and private

Posted on 30 April 2008 by Jack Jostes

A private business owner should maintain the right to make decisions for his/her own establishment, and consumers should make their personal decision as to whether they will enter.Governor Doyle’s proposed statewide smoking ban would strip business owners of their ability to decide whether or not they can permit smoking.

Is Governor Jim Doyle racist?

Posted on 07 November 2007 by Robert Fafinski

In a couple of my classes here at Marquette, I’ve heard ridiculous accusations of racism. I’ve been told that anyone who does not support affirmative action is a racist.

Posted on 13 February 2007 by Patrick Kurish

The recent proposition by Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle to increase the cigarette tax $1.25 per pack, and eventually put a ban on smoking in public places, on the surface looks futile, but when examining the entire picture, the prospective law will certainly benefit the state of Wisconsin .
