Thank you.

Man....I hope I can watch replay when I get home.

The council members have NO knowledge of any of the studies mentioned in the testimonies. Thank god one person actually printed the documents and turned it in so they can learn something.

 

[lindsayfox]

I think the videos will be available on the site. Start from the second hour.

 

[lindsayfox]

30+ testimonies just ended. Now onto the council member Q&A.

 

[Shopan]

And do you think they will not take Urgent action...? Seems Like There are Plenty of Us there but they do not seem to care much...I think the Lost Revenue Might change thier Minds...

Watching live now, and basically this is how it is going:

Ecigs are guilty until proven innocent. And will be treated as such.

The "anesthesiologists" logic was so warped.

"tobacco is bad, it kills people. That's a fact."

"We suspect e-cigarettes are safer than tobacco"

"Therefore I cannot be convinced that e-cigs are safe and as such support the ordinance presented today."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

It's anecdotal that vaping helps people to quit smoking....right

 

[FlamingoTutu]

It's really going that badly?

 

[ITPython]

Lilli Bosse actually did pretty good and made some good points. She even brought up the absurdity of banning ecigs but not cigarretes. She got an applause for that one

So it looks positive right now (I think)

 

[FlamingoTutu]

She does have a good point there, lol.

 

[ITPython]

Ok, not entirely sure, but it looks like we have 3 against and 1 for (which is the guy who proposed this).

 

[OnTheFidele]

That mayor strikes me as a pretty stand up guy. Nancy Krasne is giving me massive cognitive dissonance...

 

[FlamingoTutu]

I hope, hope, hope you're right!

 

[flowerpots]

Woot woot!

To me it sounds like this urgent moratorium is going down in flames tonight, or at lest until it goes to the Health & Safety Commission.

YIPPEE!!!
