Jim Farell of the Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association is launching a campaign to repeal Saint Paul's smoking ban.

Look for the flyers soon:

Jim Farrell, executive director of the Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association, sent a lengthy e-mail to the mayor and city attorney’s office -- and copied it to the Scoop -- to let the Coleman administration know what they’re up against if they campaign to support the ban.
(Coleman told the Pioneer Press in February that he would campaign against a repeal of the smoking ban he signed into law.)

I loved the Mayor's office's response:

The mayor’s office didn’t sound too alarmed today.
“Don’t vote angry,” said one staffer, looking over the flyers.

Oh, of course not.

Unless it's anger over, say, Randy Kelly endorsing George W. Bush. Then anger is fine, right, unnamed staffer?

Pfft. Anger is why most of us care about politics in the first place.
