For the past few months, Farmington, Missouri has debated a smoking ban with multiple public hearings and an ordinance that was read back in July.
The City Council moved on Friday to put the final decision in the voters hands by a 5-3 vote.
According to the Farmington Press, Councilman John Crouch voted against the band stating, “I don’t see why we need to be regulating a private property owner’s property rights with a city ordinance.” adding, “We make great efforts to be business-friendly in this community, yet this ordinance is going to hurt some of the most vulnerable businesses.”
Lets hope the voters think the same way when they head to the polls on November 3rd.
