Kudos to the city council in Garland, which showed some rare courage on the issue of banning cellphone use in school zones. When presented by the mayor with a measure that would have done that, the council just said no. Council member Douglas Athas summed up the opposition, asking why a law should be passed for which no problem exists. I was going to suggest Athas run for mayor, but he may have too much common sense to entertain the idea.
