About 70 people turned out for my townhall with City Prosecutor Tom Reeves and Deputy Police Chief, Bill Blair.
More than 1/4 of the people in attendance operate a marijuana facility. The remainder were both constituents and residents of other council districts.
The discussion was informative and civil. Tom Reeves and Bill Blair made a formal presentation on the status of the law on this issue and then took a number of questions and responded to comments.
I think the best outcome was hearing from constituents then and today that they realize the issue is very complex...because it is.
