Missouri Town Casino Smoking Ban Fails On Tie Vote

A 4-4 vote of the St. Joseph, Missouri city council meant an ordinance to ban smoking at the St. Jo Frontier Casino (l.) did not pass. Councilmember PJ Kovac said he sponsored the ordinance after seeing people at the card tables "pulling their masks down and blowing smoke right into the dealer's face." Kovac said he'll continue to push for the smoking ban.
