Uhh, where did this one come from? Via the Pasadena Star-News: “The [County Board of Supervisors] is expected to vote today on an ordinance banning smoking in county parks, beaches and other public places. The proposal also includes county facilities managed by contractors, such as public golf courses.” Sorry, golfers. Tough month. The ban, proposed by Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, would take effect in 30 days. “It will also turn offenses into misdemeanors that may include fines or short jail time, officials said.” NYC also has been talking about banning smoking in parks, or creating smoking area.

As the Los Angeles Times covered earlier this week, there’s a big hubbub over golf carts at the city’s parks because the city can’t get it together to award a contract to a golf cart company, meaning golfers have to use old, dangerous carts. In some instance, the carts have “brakes that fail and steering wheels that veer in a particular direction,” according to the Times. With the vote tomorrow, the press releases are flying! Just like the golfers. Via the InBox: “Craig Kessler, executive director of the Public Links Golf Association for Southern California, is urging the city to pick the recommended candidate, noting that “the public has suffered for 6 ½ years and has had to endure dilapidated golf carts.” We have yet to receive a press release from the opposition–in this case, Service Employees International Union Local 721.

Golfers using the city’s public courses are stuck with some funky golf carts, at least in the short term. The Los Angeles Times reported last Friday that the City Council voted 8-6 to nix a recommendation for a 10-year contract with a Sherman Oaks cart company. Instead, the city will continue to work with the existing cart company, while also exploring a union-supported plan. And do we love Dennis Zine for this quote? Oh, yes, we do. “I have never been lobbied so hard on an issue in eight years as a City Council member,” Councilman Dennis Zine said. “Both sides have spent a lot of money on lobbyists on this particular subject. …I don’t know what the hidden agenda is, but I question why so many lobbyists are involved.” Previously.

Via the WeHo News: “Pointing out that numerous surveys show that the closer a tobacco retailer is to a school, the more likely they are to sell to children, the City of West Hollywood began re-thinking tobacco sales near schools on Monday night.” [WeHo News]Read more from the original source:
