The opinion expressed in the piece that the adult electorate was too stupid to know what they were voting for ( " they've been hoodwinked " ) is insulting to the voters. This opinion has appeared in other statements by the district attorneys and others disappointed in the election results. The majority of the electorate said to stop treating responsible adult users of cannabis as criminals. Why is it that public servants can tell their ultimate employers that their decision was faulty?
