DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH WAITING FOR LAWMAKERS TO ACT

I'm not sure where all the hand-wringing is coming from regarding the 
proposed ballot question to legalize recreational use of marijuana.

If the question does pass, I expect a similar reaction in the 
Legislature to that of November 1998. Remember Question 2? The Clean 
Elections Law was ignored by the Legislature because lawmakers didn't 
like it, and was quietly killed just a few years later.

I expect the same with the marijuana question.
