— Pot Prohibition in Illinois Will Persist, Even After It’s Legal – Amanda
Vinicky (DIERSEN: Why does the media focus on the pot issue in Naperville, but
not in Wheaton?)
https://news.wttw.com/2019/08/06/pot-prohibition-illinois-will-persist-even-after-it-s-legal
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We
have a great, safe community here in Naperville. We’ve got a great brand. It’s
a very family oriented place,” Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne said.
“And a lot of the experts in this arena have raised a lot of concerns that are
very troubling. That if you allow retail sale of marijuana you simply expand
marijuana use, that leads to teenage delinquencies, car accidents, a host of
other social problem that I don’t want to see come to Naperville an certainly
don’t want to be the guinea pig testing whether these concerns prove out or
not.”)

more of the following that you are, the harder that Democrats, Libertarians,

conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun
owner, German American, draft avoider, and if your ancestors have been in
America for a long time.)
