Backers of pro-pot question fault DA's opposition
Category: Marijuana · State: Massachusetts · Source: Boston Herald
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. Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone brushed aside the group's criticism, calling it a "ploy" to distract attention from critics of the ballot question.
