City Council Refuses to Hear Proposal to End Drug Prohibition

“Use the system!”, they constantly implore. Well, I tried again. Last week I submitted a proposal to the city council, thinking that they had to assign everything that came in front of them to a committee for a public hearing. Turns out, they can “accept it as informational” and do nothing, and that’s what “the mayor” has decided to do with it. No public discussion will be had on my idea. They are not interested in hearing how violence and property crime can be drastically reduced, not to mention the amount of people in jail lowered. Nope! Just “accept it as informational”, ignore it, and move along with their usual “business”.

What a joke.

UPDATE: Another option, according to the clerk, is to get a councilor to schedule the item for discussion, so I will approach one and see what happens.
