KEEP SAINT LOUIS FREE!

5399 Lindell Blvd. St. Louis, Mo. 63112

Dear St. Louis County bar owner, St. Louis County Councilman Mike OMara has just introduced an ordinance that strips your bar of its voter-approved smoking ban exemption from the St. Louis County smoking ban. In the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Councilman OMaras said he plans to give business owners a chance to come in and plead their cases for continued exemption from the County smoking ban. Please immediately contact Councilman OMara and ask him to exempt your establishment from his new ordinance: Mike OMara Phone: (314) 615-5439 E-mail: MOmara@stlouisco.com Please also immediately contact the rest of the Councilmen and ask them to vote NO on any law that removes the exemption County voters approved for your bar.
