Press-Enterprise, 25 Oct 2010 – Prop. 19 was a dubious proposition even before the federal government snuffed out one of the biggest arguments in the measure’s favor last week. Comments from the Justice Department are yet more evidence that Prop. 19’s promises are largely smoke — and that voters should not inhale. Prop. 19 on the Nov. 2 ballot proposes to legalize marijuana in California for those 21 years and older, and would let state and local governments regulate and tax the drug. Proponents say this step would save taxpayers money now spent policing marijuana, and would generate revenue for public services.
