The Mayor and the smoking ban

Interesting story about San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, who did not campaign on expanding that city’s smoking ban but is now the leading proponent of it. He’s likely to get it passed on Thursday with a 6-5 vote, though a wider margin is possible. Not that it really matters – in most functioning governmental bodies (that is, outside of the US Senate), the majority is all you need. Worth a read, so check it out.
