Supporters of marijuana legalization want new ballot description

PHOENIX — Supporters of legalized marijuana go to court Wednesday to argue that Secretary of State Michele Reagan is lying to voters about what the measure would do.

Attorney Kory Langhofer said there are three misstatements of facts in the description that Reagan is legally required to prepare for Proposition 205. And he will argue to Maricopa County Superior Court Judge James Blomo that he should order the language rewritten.
