Dart On Marijuana Ordinance: Not So Fast

Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart has a thought on the ordinance the Cook County Board passed last week, decriminalizing marijuana: not so fast. Dart expressed some concerns with the new ordinance, saying, "I think any time you're talking about legalization or downgrading there needs to be a very thorough discussion. It needs to be based on facts and analysis. I don't know if that was done." Cook County Board President Todd Stroger has not officially approved the bill but has indicated he doesn't plan to veto it.

"Not so fast" doesn't mean shit unless you're actually creating and voting on the legislation.

I'm right on it so I don't miss out on comments like this! Thanks!
