TRIBUNE STAR
— OUTSTANDING: Clark County may opt out of marijuana sales Edgar County, cities of Marshall, Paris await
further study – Dave Taylor (DIERSEN: Who is taking the lead to stop the sale
of pot a) in your municipality and b) in the unincorporated areas of your
county? All of the following should be lining up to speak out against pot at
public hearings: Republican activists, Republican candidates, Republican
elected officials, Republican party leaders, Republican major donors,
Republican political consultants, business leaders, religious leaders,
healthcare leaders, education leaders, law enforcement leaders, etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Clark
County could become the first local government in Illinois to ban the sale of
marijuana under legislation that permits recreational use of cannabis statewide
effective Jan. 1 but includes an “opt out” provision for local communities. In
mid-May, while the measure was still under debate in Springfield but before it
passed, Clark County Board member Jim Bolin raised the issue of a local
prohibition and said he would have an appropriate resolution prepared. Bolin
was out of the country last week and not available for comment. County Clerk
Laura Lee said no resolution is available for review yet but the matter is on
the agenda for the board’s next meeting, which will be at 8 a.m. Friday. Any
ban imposed by the board would apply only in unincorporated areas of the
county, covering about 48 percent of the total population of about 16,000. It
would also apply only to the sale of marijuana and not its use.)
