Yes Shelly Ohio remains one of the most Polluted States in the Country.You and Ms.Sabbeta are part of the pollution problem. For example this article says the average is 36 in 1 million Ohio is 50 in 1 million. I think that means 14 more people are at risk for cancer not 50.It is these very inaccuracies and exagerations that you spout and support that gives you as much credibility as Nancy Pelosi.Every one lies but you!Yeah Right.

Where is Tracy Sabetta, another paid anti tobacco lobbyist who claimed a smoking ban would clean Ohio air? What some people will do for the almighty dollar <rolling eyes>

Somewhere in Middletown Ohio at some point today probably at least one anti smoking freak will ***** and moan because someone is smoking in a vehicle within the anti smokers eyesight lol

Shelley Kiser and her ilk know the money is drying up for anti-tobacco, she's pumping up her resume for a new job needed soon. The state would do well to put her in the unemployment line so more people could get back to work when the state figures out that the smoking bans are killing the economy.

Maybe the Ohio pollutio problem would improve if Shelly Kiser was removed from the state.

Wasn't Shelly Kiser blaming pollution deaths on second hand smoke a few years ago to get a smoking ban passed? Why yes, I do believe so.

I read somewhere about a year ago that the Cincinnati area has some of the worst air in the country. At least we're not Beijing or LA...

Yeah and let's add that new SunCoke plant to the equation. May as well take up smoking, too.
