Smoking ban faces council split over outdoor smoking rules
Smoking Council members Marilyn Praisner and Phil Andrews opposed the ban arguing the measure overreaches while noting the village is not a city. Michael Subin proposed a safe harbor for events spilling into streets but failed. Nancy Dacek joined the no side, criticizing the vote as overreaching government intrusion. Praisner floated turning 34 acres into a park as an alternative. The measure passed 5 to 4, no county executive signature required.
