Pseudoephedrine products still will be available in Fenton without a prescription, following the failure of a prescription-only plan to gain enough votes
A bill to require a doctor's prescription to purchase pseudoephedrine from Fenton pharmacies received more "yes" votes than "no" votes Thursday night, but it still will not become the law of the city. The prescription-only bill apparently had been approved on a 4-2 vote. But the victory for proponents of the bill was short-lived. The reason? Even though the proposed law received a majority of aldermanic votes at Thursday's meeting, it did not achieve a majority of the full board, which is constituted to have eight members. One aldermanic seat is vacant after Alderman Jerry Sorge, Ward 2, moved from the city last fall. And, Alderman Gary Fischer, Ward 4, was absent Thurday. So, with four votes to approve the prescription-only bill, it did …

In Fenton there is a two-man race for mayor
The ballot for the Apr. 2 local elections became final Wednesday, which was the last day candidates could file. Fenton voters will elect a new mayor to fill the seat currently held by Dennis Hancock, who announced last year that he would not seek re-election after 12 years on the job. Two people are vying for the mayor's post - Alderman Paul Seemayer, Ward 1, and former alderman Michael D. Polizzi. There also are a number of aldermanic seats up for bids but they are mostly uncontested. Ward 1 incumbent Seemayer cannot run for two offices at once, so his aldermanic seat is at stake. Two candidates have thrown their hats in the ring - Carol Brennan and Andrew Sobey Jr. There is a bit of an unusual situation in Ward 2 where incumbent Joe …

As many as five new faces could be seen on the Fenton Board of Aldermen, depending on the outcome of the municipal elections on Apr. 2, 2013.
The makeup of the City of Fenton legislative leadership could undergo a dramatic shift after next April's municipal elections as five aldermanic seats and the mayor's position are up for grabs in the Apr. 2 municipal election. At stake are two-year terms for in each aldermanic ward as the terms of Paul Seemayer (Ward 1), Joe Maurath (Ward 2), Chris Clauss (Ward 3) and Jim Mauller (Ward 4) are set to expire in April. In addition, a one-year term will be on the ballot in Ward 1 to fill the unexpired term of Alderman Jerry Sorge, who is moving from Fenton. The biggest change next April, however, will be a new face in the mayor's office. Current Mayor Dennis Hancock announced earlier this year that he would not seek a seventh, two-year term in…

On a narrow vote, The Fenton Board of aldermen rejected a proposal that would have required a doctor's prescription to purchase pseudoephedrine products at local pharmacies.
The debate by the Fenton Board of Aldermen over a proposed law that would require a prescription to purchase pseudoephedrine products in the city has lasted on for weeks. Thursday night, the aldermen narrowly rejected the proposed bill, sponsored by Alderman Chris Clauss, on a 4-3 vote with one alderman, Joe Maurath, abstaining. Voting for the prescription-only requirement were aldermen Harold Bade, Clauss, and Jim Mauller. Opposed were aldermen Paul Seemayer, Jerry Sorge, Dan Borgard and Gary Fischer. The 4-3 tally means pharmacies still may sell a box pseudoephedrine nasal relief products, such as Sudafed or Actifed, without requiring a prescription. Those who favor making pseudoephedrine more difficult to purchase say it will help …

Zephrex-D has not been granted exception status by the DEA. Until then, it's just another box sitting behind the counter. Again, people, Zephrex-D is NO DIFFERENT (legally speaking) than Sudafed, Claritin-D, etc. Quit spreading the lies that it is the answer. It is not. more ›
