BreatheFree Oshkosh seeks funds

The local anti-smoking group is looking to raise $5,000 through a direct-mail campaign.

In a letter dated Dec. 6, Kenneth M. Viste Jr., a local physician, argues that financial support to pay lawyer fees is all that is needed to overturn the temporary restraining order that is blocking enforcement of the city's law on smoke-free restaurants.

"The issues raised in the restaurant owners' suit are technicalities that have been rejected in previous court cases," Viste writes. "The courts will generally support the will of the people through elections in such cases, and we are confident of ultimate victory."
