No. The March, 2009 City Council-enacted smoking ordinance in Liberty was a good beginning. But it does not create a smoke free Liberty.

 

The Ordinance does not take effect until March 2010. It makes exemptions for smoking in a number of enclosed public spaces.

 

Can residents makes ours a smoke free city?

Indeed we can!

A broad-based network of small business owners, doctors, teachers, and "regular citizens" believe it is in the best interests of employees, businesses, and customers to make Liberty a smoke free city. We believe this can happen with an ordinance that mirrors the one in Kansas City.

On November 3, we can enact a smoke free ordinance that covers all enclosed work places and keeps Liberty parks smoke free except in designated areas.

 

If Liberty is to become a smoke free city-- it will be due to citizens like us voting YES on Tuesday, November 3.
