A borough council meeting held on Monday, May 19 failed for a second time to pass a smoking ban in Emmaus borough parks.
The committee chairman, Councilman Wesley Barrett, said Parks and Recreation members felt it unwise to adopt an ordinance banning smoking in public parks at this time.
"The state has not enacted any legislation that would back this up right now," Barrett explained.
