Montana House overturns Missoula's marijuana enforcement ordinance

Edited on Tue Feb-22-11 07:44 PM by Newsjock

The Montana House voted 68-31 Tuesday to prohibit local initiatives to set law enforcement priorities, an act that would overturn Missoula County's 2006 voter-approved measure to make marijuana enforcement the county's lowest priority.

The bill faces a final House vote before heading to the Senate.

House Bill 391, by Rep. Tom Berry, R-Roundup, also would prevent other local initiatives elsewhere from setting law enforcement priorities.

... Rep. Dick Barrett, D-Missoula, opposed the bill. He said there's nothing wrong with local citizens deciding on what the most and least important priorities are for their local authorities.

2. Should a county be able to vote that hate crimes are the lowest priority?

How about domestic violence? DUI? Vandalism? Rape?
