Updated 12:12 p.m. Debate today was canceled last minute as the bill was placed on the board's informal calendar. Bill is now schedule for discussion at next Friday's meeting.
Tweeting updates from the 10 a.m. meeting, Alderwoman Kacie Starr Triplett reports that ex-smoker Alderman Freeman Bosley's grandchild is creating a spectacle running all over the place.

| The St. Louis Board of Aldermen may still seem like a shooting gallery at times....but the ol' spittoons are long gone. |
Krewson has garnered four additional co-sponsors for her bill (Donna Baringer, Triplett, Marlene Davis and Shane Cohn).
Davis is an ex-smoker. Cohn's never lit up. Baringer and Triplett never responded to the RFT's spring survey of smoking among public officials, and were thus deemed "buttheads."
Check it out. The board does have a handful of smokers....will that affect how they vote?
