Proposed Ordinance Would Ban Karaoke and Dancing in Restaurants
Danville city officials will consider an ordinance that would ban karaoke, dancing, and pool in all restaurants.

No karaoke singing, and no dancing. It sounds like the movie "Footloose," and it could happen in Danville.

City officials are looking at the proposed ordinance, as part of a review of the city's alcohol policies. Some officials say the issue is when there is karaoke and dancing in restaurants, it creates crowds and more of a bar type atmosphere. They say it's not what the city wants.

At this point, it's only a proposal. Many residents say it's too harsh. At the same time, Danville officials are also considering allowing alcohol sales on Sunday.

People can share their thoughts at the Danville City Commission meeting May 29 at 5:30 at City Hall.

The money came and still comes from the larges Pharmaceuticals, such as Johnson and Johnson and all the others who saw the money to be made. Johnson and Johnson spent over 500 million (latest figures I can find) to spread misinformation about Smoking and SHS. At first the message was Smoking is hazardous to your health and they found that it had no effect on the smoking public. They then hit on the idea that worked. They thought, and were correct;
