Missouri: Deadline for anti-smoking petition close, debate continues
The debate over smoking indoors heats back up with a new initiative petition circulating that could lead to a ballot initiative. Back in June, Springfield Mayor Jim O’Neal killed a proposed no-smoking ordinance at a city council meeting, telling advocacy groups to get signatures to put this on a ballot. And that’s just what the American Cancer Society has been doing leading up to the Wednesday, December 29 deadline.
