Council debates indoor smoking ordinance and penalties
Local officials clash over a proposed Clean Indoor Air Act restricting smoking in private workplaces. The plan would require businesses to adopt policies within two months and permit police to cite violators, with warnings for a month and 100 dollar fines after eleven months. Critics call it government overreach while supporters push further study of impacts on private commerce. The revised measure may reappear August 10.
