KGMI 790 AM
Marijuana activists are trying once again to legalize the drug in Washington state through a ballot measure. A group has filed an initiative aimed at removing all criminal and civil state penalties for possession, use and sale of marijuana in any quantity.
A Whatcom County judge said the wording of a local transit tax ballot measure is inaccurate, but there’s nothing he can do about it. The ballot measure asks voters if bus service should be “maintained and improved” with a two-tenths of a percent sales tax increase for the Whatcom Transportation Authority. Tax opponent Brett Bonner said that’s wrong.
