PROCTOR'S MARIJUANA ORDINANCE SHOULD BE STRONGLY CONSIDERED

I agree with Commissioner Bill Proctor for proposing a looser pot 
ordinance. He made a good point that people should get issued civil 
citations rather than a criminal arrest for small amounts of marijuana.

There would be fewer people in jail. The cost of $60 for every inmate 
could go to the people with more serious crimes. There could be more 
room in jail for the people who have been waiting on trial for a while.

Everyone should be allowed to get another chance. The way the law is 
now, some people are going to lose their jobs, homes, cars - anything 
they own. No one is perfect. I agree with everything Commissioner 
Proctor said, and I am thankful to him for proposing the new ordinance.
