Backers of pro-pot question fault DA’s opposition

Tue, Sep 23 2008

Backers of a pro-marijuana ballot initiative charged today that 11 district attorneys from Massachusetts violated campaign finance laws and twisted the truth about the question.

Whitney Taylor of the Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy said the DAs raised and spent money to oppose the question before forming their Coalition to Save Our Streets. Campaign finance laws require groups to form a committee before raising and spending money.
