Ketchikan City Council Vote on Pot
By Charlie Freeman

Saturday AM
I'm having a problem understanding why, in the name of God, this was even brought up. #1. The State hasn't dealt with it and the State trumps local law. #2. Federal law trumps State, and even though the Feds at this present moment say they are not going to make an issue of it, Federal law still stands. #3. And more to the point, it's a loser as an issue. You cannot win. You either ignore the public vote in favor of you're own opinion, or you must be some kind of pot head. Can't win, either way.
A better plan might have been to wait and see how things went, rather than pee higher on the fire plug.
