City to go smokeless?
While reading the Grand Rapids Press this morning I noticed this article regarding Mayor Heartwell's intiative to make the city smokeless. He is asking the City Commission to set an Oct. 3 public hearing on an ordinance that would ban smoking in public spaces and private work sites. Where this debate will lead, who knows? But, it is something that will be debated, so before you go to the public hearing you might want to read these items.
