Been Exercising, How Long Before I See Results

Köbi Mettler attack on the cultural Gare de Lion

City Council candidate Jacob Mettler of the SVP recently submitted an interpellation on "smoking ban in all public buildings in the city of Wil" and the Wiler newspaper has reported. In itself, the questions the right course. At second glance you can see behind the advance but a frontal attack on the new Cultural Centre Gare de Lion, which is full of half truths. In addition to the non-compliance with a smoking ban is also assumed that in the Gare de Lion is smoke weed - what to look for in this question has nothing and not also in future be the case. This allows the interpellators of the basic facts: The depot has been closed since February 2008. The re-opening in September brings a new name (Gare de Lion), a new ownership and, not least a new concept. Moreover, the chances are good that all pubs and clubs in the canton of St. Gallen from 1 October-smoking be. An exception would be basically possible anyway, because even in the city hall is smoked. In Jakob Mettler but loses nothing. The meaning and especially the date of the interpellation is more than questionable. Moreover, the assertion is simply wrong, the Gare de Lion was a youth center. Also in the past, large majority of adults were over 18 years in the events. The 16-year and 17 guests were always a clear minority, as they were ever authorized for access to specified events.
If the Gare de Lion at all a public building? Basically it is a private, nonprofit sponsors, which rented the building and serves the cultural and performance by the city. But quite apart from the facts prove it is my opinion, an insult that the new ownership is given no chance to, of course. The new operational concept will bring a new house rules with them. The interpellators has obviously not been informed about the situation and not even bothered to contact the Cultural Association Wil in advance. What is organizing a part of the SVP, led by Jacob Mettler with this interpellation is basically the following: the policy is for a trade libel in the highest mass campaign against Wiler restaurants, arts operation exploited - do this even before the opening, with the aim of self-promotion for the campaign. Köbi Mettler in the City Council? An emphatic NO!
