Action, Jackson! Mayor's Conference Marijuana
http://thejointblog.com/marijuana-referendum-up-for-vote-at-u-s-conference-of-mayors-approved-by-initial-committee/This weekend (June 21st to June 24th) mayors from across the country will convene at the 81st annual U.S. Conference of Mayors, held in Las Vegas. One of the topics up for discussion is a resolution “in support of states setting their own marijuana policies without federal interference”. The proposal – introduced May 22nd – is sponsored by San Diego Mayor Bob Filner and 8 other mayors from cities across the country: Aurora (CO), Berkeley (CA), Binghamton (NY), Glendale (CO), Oakland (CA), San Leandro (CA), Seattle (WA), and Tacoma (WA).
The resolution was approved by its initial Conference of Mayors committee today, and will be up for a full vote on Monday.
