SHREVEPORT, La. - A hot button issue at Tuesday s City Council meeting was the possible repeal of a part of legislation approved last year that banned smoking at businesses in the city. The amended legislation would have exempted Shreveport casinos from following the law that goes into effect Aug. 1.
However, the City Council s decision on the issue became a cliff hanger. And that decision came after more than two hours of public comment, where citizens, organizational leaders and casino employees implored the council to keep the smoking ban in place and not give casinos a break.Â
When it came time for a vote, Council Chairman James Flurry offered what he called a compromise that would have still allowed the two Shreveport casinos to have smoking in its facilities but with the stipulation they create a third-floor smoke free area. That suggestion was met with dissatisfaction from audience members.Â
