Street Gets Pissy About Nutter’s Smoking Ban You Can Smoke Along To
We bet Michael Nutter didn’t see this one coming. After he got Council to pass the bill that would establish the ban back in June, he hightailed it out of there to campaign full-time. But fast forward to now, and John Street is getting pissy about the particulars ‚Äî namely, how the bill does not ban smoking at outdoor/sidewalk caf?©s. Now, we won’t even get into the deeply fucked nature of a man who thinks it should be illegal to smoke on the fucking sidewalk; rather, let’s just look at the quotes:
“I don’t think it makes much sense to have a smoking ban that doesn’t include sidewalk cafes,” Street said Tuesday in response to a Daily News question. “A smoking ban that doesn’t include sidewalk cafes isn’t much of a ban.”
It was never much of a ban anyway, dude. And:
Asked on Tuesday whether he would sign the bill, Street said, “I don’t know.”
It doesn’t take much of a sleuth to figure out what is really going on here: Street is trying to sandbag Nutter’s campaign. Why? Who the hell knows, but increasingly, the Street administration has been whiling away its days with petty dramas such as this (Jannie Blackwell, anyone?), rather than simply getting shit done and/or shutting down Murderdelphia, which, um, guys, seems pretty pressing. (Three more dead last night, by the way.) Besides, Johnny, this Nutter dude has problems of his own.
