"PUBLIC PROPERTY" NOW INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU CAN SEE WHILE YOU ARE STANDING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY



In a vote on the first hearing of CR-13-736, the Denver City Council proves once again that sanity has left the building. According to Robb Amendment (unenforceable, unconstitutional), the front of your house is public property if it can be seen from the sidewalk or street, and therefore you cannot smoke pot there because it is "open and public". Doesn't this mean that drinking alcohol there (or on restaurant sidewalk patios) is also being done in public and should therefore also be prohibited? Listen to what your Councilperson has to say before the vote:

0:00 Jeanne Robb - voted YES
6:08 Susan Shepherd - voted NO
9:10 Charlie Brown - voted NO
11:30 Jeanne Faatz - voted YES
12:23 Deborah Oretega - voted YES
15:20 Robin Kniech - voted NO
18:05 Chris Nevitt - voted NO
20:52 Albus Brooks - voted YES
25:01 Mary Beth Susman - voted NO
28:37 THE VOTE
29:03 THE LIST

Keep this list

    I'd rather they crack down on public sidewalk facing patios cigarette smoking.

    I have yet to see a restaurant that had a public patio facing the sidewalk that enforced the no smoking 15 feet from the entrance law.
