HARTINGTON — Cedar County courthouse employees who wish to smoke will have to find a new place for it. The Cedar County Commission put a new smoking ban in place at the courthouse. Commissioners outlawed smoking in the building a few years ago, but exempted one room, allowing employees to smoke in a downstairs room.
The action was taken after a survey of employees was taken showing the majority was in favor of the ban.
