Smooooke on the sidewalk... fire in disguise

In this Daily News piece about the still-not-officially-in-effect smoking ban, former Councilman Nutter demonstrates how liberating it is to have the word "former" in his title:

Nutter said Street should sign the bill before him and urge the addition of an amendment banning smoking at sidewalk cafes to the DiCicco bill.

"If he can't get an itsy-bitsy amendment about sidewalk cafes, then that's pretty pathetic for someone who considers himself a leader," Nutter said.

'dems fightin' words.
