Wait a minute! Some Alders Want to Repeal Smoking Ban
Bar owners, don’t throw away those ashtrays.
Madison District 1 Ald. Jed Sanborn has introduced a resolution to repeal the smoking ban that just went into effect Friday.
If the City Council votes to suspend the rules at Tuesday night’s meeting, alders could be debating rescinding the ban, which prohibits smoking in bars, restaurants, most hotel rooms and all workplaces.
Sanborn’s resolution was co-sponsored by council members Judy Compton, Paul E. Skidmore and Cindy Thomas.
The council will meet at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in Room 201 of the City-County Building.
