Jonathan and List, Once again the issue that there may or may not be a reduction in business is cited -- yet no study to substantiate it.
Thank you to the people have forwarded me studies (especially the peer review kind) that show there is no decline in business in areas the institute a ban -- and I am reviewing those. But no one has forwarded me any type of research substantiating the claim that there is a loss of business to restaurants or bars after a ban. I would like to make up a fair briefing sheet on both sides of this issue -- citing real facts not just the individualized stories that too often pass for fact. It makes sense to think that they would -- but I honestly can't find anything that says they do. (yet -- still looking though) Joseph Barisonzi Willard-Hay REMINDERS: 1.
