Call Mayor Nutter Today!

UPDATE: The Mayor's office has stopped taking calls on this issue. His office is refusing to take action on this issue, and passing his constituents off to the House of Representatives. Please continue to call his office (215-686-2181), he needs to know we won't stand by and let this happen!

Yesterday evening the Pennsylvania Senate agreed to amendments to the Table Games bill that would exempt SugarHouse and Foxwoods from Philadelphia's smoking ban, arguably Mayor Nutter's signature career legislative achievement. The House is poised to reconvene today at 11am to vote on this bill.

What will the Mayor do? Will he contact the members of the Philadelphia Delegation and plead with them to vote no? Or will he sit idly by while the ban goes up in smoke?

Call the Mayor now (215-686-2181) and ask him to tell Harrisburg to leave our smoking ban alone and to tell the Philly members of the House to vote NO on this bill!

Despite a loud public outcry, Mayor Nutter has failed to criticize the Table Games bill, SB711, which strengthens the casinos extremely predatory powers.  As you may remember, this is the same bill that gives the casinos the ability to offer gamblers extended lines of credit so they can gamble on borrowed money. Please read Paul Boni's Op-Ed in the Inquirer, as well as the Inquirer article that came out this morning.

According to a published study, second-hand smoke in casinos is deadly.

So, call the Mayor now (215-686-2181) and ask him to tell Harrisburg to leave our smoking ban alone and to tell the Philly members of the House to vote NO on this bill!
