Over the next 10 days, City Clerk Yolanda Vigil will verify whether there are enough valid signatures of registered voters - 5,763 are required - to call an election among city voters on the measure. The proposal would make possession of an ounce or less of marijuana a civil infraction punishable by a fine of $25 or less. Decriminalization supporters said they had 7,048 voter signatures on their stacks of petitions. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
