So this happened this morning:
https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Top-attorney-resigns-after-board-adopts-medical-13081953.php
Nice little story about an attorney who quits on good principle when a board of unelected people overrode the will of the people against her advice.
Then this happened tonight:
She admitted to sending herself fake death threats from medicinal cannabis advocates and is being charged.
-
State health officials have attempted to thwart the will of the people on OK 788 by imposing absurd rules.
-
The governor refused to call a special session and approved the boards’ arbitrary rules.
-
Lawsuits have been filed against the boards’ action.
-
GOP leaders have publicly decried the action.
The backlash is that now the voters are 2/3 of the way toward the required signatures for OK 796 and 797, another medicinal cannabis related bill and a recreational cannabis bill, respectively.
The first few days of the signature drives, 797 grew fastest.
That board should’ve left well enough alone.
