Blowing smoke: Is there a movement to recall Dave Thune?

St. Paul City Council member Dave Thune has long provoked passionate responses from both his admirers and detractors. He drew the ire of bar owners by championing a smoking ban (despite his own long-standing nicotine jones) and initially opposed expanding liquor-license hours during the Republican National Convention for fear of puking GOP lobbyists. So it’s no surprise that some residents might be interested in booting the liberal Democrat from office.
