Vernon Brown Must Only Eat At Home

Apparently Sioux Falls Councilor and mayoral candidate must never go out to eat or has never had bad grub from a dirty restaurant.  As quoted in today's Argus Leader editorial http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060302/OPINION01/603020316/105290) 101944-284396-thumbnail.jpg
Vernon Brown. Go out to eat much?on
the posting of Sioux Falls restaurant and grocery store health scores:

Keep posting restaurant and grocery inspection reports on the city's Web site so they're easily available for everyone to see.

The city started posting the scores in January, and while there's general support for the move, some people aren't so sure.

It might be unfair to post a bad score when a restaurant simply has a "bad day," said council member Vernon Brown.

"Your bad day is my food poisoning," responded council member Kevin Kavanaugh.

Amen, Kevin.  Looks like Vernon is more worried about protecting businesses that don't have the public's health in mind rather than protecting the public from food poisoning.
