The big news of the week is that the Indiana State Supreme Court has overturned the Smokefree ordinance in Evansville. In a nutshell, they had an issue with the exemption that was extended to our riverboat casino.

It does not appear there is much hope for Evansville bar owners attempting to overturn the city wide smoking ban. Earlier last week, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled that the smoking ban is to remain in effect despite arguments by local watering holes and organizations claiming the ban is unconstitutional due to Casino Aztar receiving special immunity from the law.
