Letter renders reader speechless

Scott Williams, Dillon

In response to Kevin B. Hammond’s letter to the editor (June 30), I am almost completely speechless. I have never read anything from anyone that was so born out of ignorance and complete idiocy. The only thing the Summit County government needs to protect Mr. Hammond from is his complete lack of sensibility and reasoning. Get a grip, Mr. Hammond, and try to realize that the point of the smoking ban is to protect the patrons and employees of Summit County’s fine eating establishments. It is not intended to control our lives. This is a positive aspect of government acting for the people’s health. Thank you to all the Summit County restaurants that have voluntarily banned smoking without a citizens’ vote. This should enlighten Mr. Hammond as to how a lot of Summit County citizens already feel about this issue.
