Proposition 5 sparks fierce clash over California smoking ban
In California a ballot measure Proposition 5 seeks to ban smoking in most indoor public spaces. Supporters Californians for Clean Indoor Air push to curb tobacco ads while opponents Californians for Common Sense spend millions on ads and campaigns. The measure would allow some exemptions and require partitions and signs, with penalties like a $50 fine for violations. Projections claim health savings and costs to implement, while polls show voters split and industry warns of broader national impact.

Striking teachers in Dayton Ohio and suburban San Francisco face potential jail sentences for defying back to work orders.

In Cleveland, a judge urged new contract talks, while Everett Washington saw five teachers arrested after a sit in as Seattle talks stalled.
