Will The Recently Passed Decrim Measures Have An Effect On The Michigan Legislature?

[t-pain]

The 1%'rs will never allow us to vote their money and interests away. Our reps work for others with large agendas. Everyone has a boss, same as the old boss. This is the reason the most senseless decisions are made, regardless of the elected. The agenda stays, and nothing changes.

It is not a priority.  While that is good, it is still a police option and that is bad. 

 

Given that option, the officer will decide whether he feels like punishing the cannabis user that day or not.  The officer should not have that option.

Have police/prosecutors in any of the decrim cities stated that they will follow the will of the people? I thought I read awhile back that GR would do this.

the kent county prosecutor tried to challenge it in the court for a few months.

 

On May 7, 2013, Judge Sullivan ruled to dismiss the County Prosecutor’s case against Prop 2 and Grand Rapids’ voters! Read the entire opinion KCPA v City of GR-Summary Disposition Opinion now.
