St. Louis City Alderwoman, 28th Ward
St. Louis, Missouri
Alderwoman Krewson has championed the cause of smoke free public places to reduce the health risks of second hand smoke. She knows full well that smoking and inhaling second hand smoke are the direct cause of diseases that might otherwise be avoidable. She is a true health care hero!!!

I applaud Alderwoman Krewson, the Health Committee and the entire St. Louis Board of Alderman for showing leadership on this very important health issue. As a resident of the 28th Ward, I especially appreciate the courage of Alderwoman Krewson to develop an ordinance that considers the needs of and impact on the entire region.

Alderwoman Krewson navigated very challenging waters when she dove into the politics of a smoke free St. Louis. Her political courage was amply rewarded when the Health Committee advanced the bill and her fellow alderman passed the ordinance on a 20-7 vote. With the overwhelming citizen vote on Nov 3 in St. Louis County, the region is advancing towards cleaner air.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Alderwoman Krewson for taking the lead and being a true health care hero.

I'm impressed by Alderwoman Lyda Krewson's dedication and determination in the face of long odds. She accomplished something I thought was hopeless even as recently as just a few weeks ago when it seemed like it would either be stalled indefinitely in committee or defeated by the full Board of Aldermen. Kudos to you Lyda! You deserve all the plaudits you get.
