Letter: What good is an empty law?

The Columbian
Published: February 10, 2012, 4:00pm

A few years ago the state banned smoking in taverns, bars, eating places, etc. C-Tran put up signs for no smoking within 25 feet of buses and shelters.

Well, people are smoking all the time in and around the shelters. Why? Because no one enforces the law.
