A proposed Houston smoking ban in restaurants and bars gains business support while Baytown’s similar ordinance stalls. Baytown leaders earlier approved placement of the measure, drafted by the Smoke Free Baytown Coalition, to prohibit smoking in bars and eateries.
Coalition spokesman Richard Ehlers says local business groups and unions have not endorsed the ban but will urge grassroots turnout. He notes public support likely exists and that the ordinance appeared on the ballot due to broad resident interest. Opponents say most businesses do not back the measure.
U S District Judge granted summary judgment for the City of Baytown and the Baytown Police Department in a suit by Teresa Constant alleging officers unlawfully used a Taser. The complaint, filed in 2003, details two May 2001 and January 2002 taserings amid arrest attempts, with Constant claiming provocation and injuries while she was leg-braced on crutches. Additional defendants were sought but motions were denied, leaving amended claims against the city and police officials.
