...Mendocino County voters will be deciding the North Coast's most interesting ballot measure. The county's Measure B calls for repealing a 2000 initiative that legalized personal use of marijuana and made the enforcement of pot-related laws the "lowest priority" for law enforcement.
A ballot statement supporting Measure B states that the existing rules "has made us a magnet for get-rich-quick growers who hide behind medical marijuana as a cover for commercial marijuana production." Opponents of Measure B say its a step backwards in the effort for more sensible marijuana laws.
The first day to apply for a vote-by-mail ballot is May 5. The last day to register to vote is May 19. Even without the attraction of a presidential contest, there are plenty of reasons to vote in the June 3 election -- and no good reason to stay away.
