Residents took definite sides on the smoking ban issue. The effort to put the smoking ban on the ballot was defeated, but it is likely to resurface through St. Charles County Council action or a citizen initiative petition.

Before the St. Charles County Council voted on the smoke-free ballot issue on Monday, several people addressed the council regarding the proposal. St. Charles County Council members defeated the proposal to put the smoke-free issue on the November 2012 ballot. Following are some excerpts from what residents said. Sharon Lee, manager of Siteman Cancer Center in BJC St. Peters Hospital “Tobacco use has a direct relationship to causing cancer. “I don’t think this is about public rights as much as it is ‘Let the public speak.’ So once again, we would ask you to let the public make this decision. Let them vote in the November 2012 election, and let their vote be heard.” Jerry Haferkamp of St. Charles Haferkamp said the American Legion in St. …

Some council members support the bill that would allow voters to decide on a countywide smoking ban in August 2012, while others oppose the ban’s exemptions and say the county council should decide on the issue.
St. Charles County Council introduced a bill at Monday night’s meeting that, if approved, will allow residents to vote on a countywide smoking ban in the August 7, 2012 election. The ban would prohibit smoking in most indoor and some outdoor places throughout the county, allowing for exemptions for private clubs with no paid employees, tobacco stores or cigar bars and casinos. In an earlier interview with Patch, Joe Cronin, R-District 1, who proposed the bill, said he included the casino exemption to gain support from the council. He also said Illinois lost money to St. Louis County casinos when the state banned smoking without exemptions. Cronin doesn’t want to put any of the county casino’s 1,600 jobs at risk, he said. Cronin has also …

By all means sheeple vote yes on smoking ban, it only closed 500 Minnesota bars & restaurants, or about 1/3 of the total twin cities establishments...it sure saves time when deciding where to go out & eat up here. http://cleanairquality.blogspot.com/2007/01/100-bars-and-restaurants-put-out-of.html more ›
