Smoking ban compromise unlikely in Lawrence
Lawrence officials including Mayor Mike Rundle and commissioners Dunfield Highberger and Schauner reject a proposed nicotine testing compromise for public buildings. The plan would test air nicotine in businesses thrice yearly and post average scores at entrances, with permits denied to high scorers. The coalition backing a public vote gathered over 5,000 signatures but chose not to pursue a referendum, saying collaboration is needed to address health concerns. The issue likely becomes an election topic as Rundle, Schauner and Highberger run for re election in April.
