[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great to see this discussion here.

Jason here from Moderately MOCO.

Here is our recommended ballot:[url]https://moderatelymoco.com/moderately-moco-recommended-ballot-for-2022-general-election-page/[/url]

I would also suggest for moderates and centrists and independents to pay attention to local and state politics. We need to push for more balance and the ability to vote when it counts (in the Primary) for independents.

Thanks for posting. I don’t see your County Exec pick, unless I’m missing it. Surprised about the yes on legalizing marijuana. [/quote]

I couldn't pick either for County Exec. I wrote in David Blair just for the heck of it but it's a protest write in.

I have long personally advocated for decriminalization/legalization (at least of marijuana) as one part of the solution to criminal issues. Done correctly it can undermine organized crime, make it safer and consumers know what they are getting.

I am supporting this with the assumption there will be work done in the first session to figure out how to craft the state laws around it. I hope they will do things correctly and earmark a decent bit of the money for education and infrastructure. I would rather focus our resources in jails and with officers to fight violent crime and hold violent criminals. Due to jail overcrowding with non violent low level drug offenses, these violent criminals can end up out sooner.

One other thing I hope they will address if it passes is laws that will prevent sales of edibles that look like candy and regular food. These are popular in legalized places areas and are a big issue with accidental overdoses of children getting into them and not knowing.[/quote]
