Plus, another challenger enters the State Attorney General's race and a U City representative asks for an official state beer.
The wee hours of Thursday morning brought about big chances for state Senate districts in St. Louis County. The tentative document – detailed in coverage from the St. Louis Beacon – means that Sen. Jane Cunningham (R-Chesterfield) is now in a district with Sen. Brian Nieves, (R-Washington). And districts represented by Sen. Jim Lembke (R-Lemay) and John Lamping (R-Ladue) also saw significant changes. If this sounds familiar, that's because the map had to be redrawn after the original document was declared unconstitutional. More analysis will surely come over the next days and weeks. For now, the map is subject to a 15-day public comment period. News on Statewide Races With the August primaries still on the horizon, a pair of statewide …

The smoking ban comes as a disaster to some and a delight to others in the Delmar Loop.
Depending on whom you ask, the impending St. Louis County indoor smoking ban is either a heinous infringement of personal rights or a long-awaited breath of fresh air. St. Louis County constituents voted in favor of the ban in 2009. The law goes into effect on Jan. 2. For better or for worse, this legislation will change the way Delmar Loop taverns and restaurants do business. Blueberry Hill has literally laid the foundation for an outdoor heated smoking area. Construction workers have poured the concrete and erected wooden beams for the add-on, which will be adjacent to the dart room.
