IN A FOLLOW UP THIS MORNING..
JOE
TAKING YOU THROUGH LAST NIGHT'S
CITY CONUCIL MEETING...... THE
FORMER C-V-S STORE ON
GLENSTONE AND SUNSHINE .. IS UP
FOR A HISTORIC SITE DESIGNATION.
IT WAS BUILT IN 19-61... AND HAS
BEEN SOME SORT OF DRUG STORE FOR
DECADES, BUT COUNCIL
DENIEDTHE HISTORIC SITE REQUEST
TONIGHT.
PEOPLE WHO LIVE AROUND THE
AREA... SAY THEY'RE WORRIED THAT
THE BUILDING WILL BE
DEMOLISHED, AND THEY DON'T WANT
THAT TO HAPPEN.
(Kevin Evans / President,
Delaware Neighborhood
Association): "We're really kind
of concerned because we think
this is a really truly unique
structure. Built in 1961, part
of
that post-war boom in
Springfield, we have this
enormous growth in Springfield
at that time."
JOE
ALSO UP FOR DEBATE LAST
NIGHT...... A BILL TO INCREASE
THE AGE LIMIT OF BUYING TOBACCO
PRODUCTS TO 21... INSTEAD OF 18.
THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAYS THE
GOAL IS TO REDUCE THE CHANCES OF
YOUNG
PEOPLE BECOMING ADDICTED.
BUT... LOCAL SMOKE SHOPS SAY
THIS WON'T STOP PEOPLE OF ANY
AGE TO GET THOSE PRODUCTS
ANYWAY.
(Sean Fannin / Owner, Viper
Vapor Springfield): "Because the
reason why minors, people under
18 have access to nicotine,
e-liquids and devices like JUUL
is because they know
somebody over the age of 18 just
like everybody knows somebody
over the age of 21, when I was
18 and I wanted
beer, I had a friend who was
over 21 and he'd get me some
beer."
JOE
SEAN FANNIN SAYS HE BELIEVES A
BETTER WAY TO STOP UNDERAGE KIDS
FROM BUYING TOBACCO
PRODUCTS... IS INCREASING THE
PUNISHMENT IF THEY
CAUGHT...COUNCIL WILL VOTE ON
THIS COME JULY
=FIRST
JOE
A FEW OTHER ISSUES DISCUSSED
LAST NIGHT.....A BILL TO RE-ZONE
LAND IN NORTHWEST SPRINGFIELD --
HAS FAILED.
IT *WOULD* HAVE ALLOWED EDEN
VILLAGE TO BUILD MORE TINY HOMES
FOR THE HOMELESS ON
WEST DIVISION.
JOE
A SHORT-TERM LENDING BILL WAS
ALOS TABLED.
COUNCIL MEMBERS WANT MORE TIME
TO DISCUSS REGULATIONS, LIKE
ADDING FEES TO PAY DAY LOANS
COMPANIES.
COUNCIL DID PASS A *RESOLUTION*
TO WORK WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS
-- ON SOLUTIONS
TO PREDATORY PRACTICES OF
SHORT-TERM LENDING.
JOE
FINALLY...3 POINT SEVEN MILLION
DOLLARS WAS APPROVED -- TO
PROMOTE TOURISM AND SPORTING
EVENTS TO SPRINGFIELD.
JOE

JOE

INPUT ON A NEW PLAN TO GET THE
CITY BACK ON TRACK WITH A-D-A
