SMOKEFREE
2003 FOR ST. LOUIS CITY BUILDINGS
AND
LAMBERT AIRPORT! HOW
YOU CAN MAKE IT A REALITY…
Board
Bill 194, introduced by Alderman Freeman Bosley Sr. (Ward 3), would ban
smoking in all City-owned and leased buildings, including Lambert Airport. A
resolution was passed to test the air at Lambert Airport.
Your action now and in
coming months can help the bill succeed. Here’s how:
#
1 : The
first hurdle for the bill is passage in the Health and Human Services
Committee. Members of the Committee include:
Greg
Carter, Chair
(Ward 27)
Alfred
(“Fred”)
Wessels, Jr. (Ward 13)
Terry
Kennedy
(Ward 18)
Irving
Clay, Jr.
(Ward 26) – a co-sponsor, so thank him
Craig
Schmid
(Ward 10)
Steve
Grigali
(Ward 14)
Dionne
Flowers
(Ward 2)
Jennifer
Florida
(Ward 15)
Please contact the committee
to tell them of your support. If you are a constituent of any of these
elected officials, contact from you is especially important.

up with Jeanette Mott Oxford, Grassroots Coordinator at Missouri Partnership on
Smoking or Health, to be notified of hearing date, time, and location, once set.

are a City resident, please call or write your alderman/woman to tell
him/her of your support. The work address for all aldermen is Board of Aldermen,
City Hall, 1200 Market St., St. Louis, MO 63103.

occasionally. As an airport user, you have every reason to communicate with St.
