Via TRR:
Mayor Street says he is still studying the fine print of the smoking ban plan:
“I haven’t decided whether or not I’m going to sign it.”
But the mayor says he’s bothered by one key aspect of the plan -– that sidewalk cafés would be exempt from the ban, meaning outdoor diners could light up at will:
“People walking by could have an issue. And smoke from people smoking at the tables in the sidewalk café could end up all in the restaurant.”
You know, Mayor Street, there’s another scent that carries pretty far. It’s called bullshit, and you reek of it, dude.
So, you don’t like Michael Nutter, who wants your job. You don’t want to hand him a political victory that he can use in his campaign.
Fine. We get it.
Just don’t treat us like chumps in the process. ‘Cause that freaking stinks.

Here’s what I don’t think Mayor Street understands about politics; if he doesn’t sign the bill, he only gives Nutter the issue to run on later and to make Street look like the petty person he is, always has been, and always will b e.

Daaaaaaaammmmn!
And I agree — Street’s backed into a corner on this one.
