— Opponents of legalized pot say their voices aren’t being heard – GAYNOR HALL (DIERSEN: Those who oppose legalization of pot who attended the hearing included Peter Bensinger, Kathy Gilroy, Judy Kreamer, Ralph Rivera, Thomas Weitzel, and myself. If you promote pot, feel free to unsubscribe to this email. If you are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, please speak out against legalizing pot. Further, please join me in encouraging the 18 members of the DuPage County Board to pass a resolution ASAP in opposition to legalizing pot for recreational use in Illinois, SB 316 and HB 2353, and especially the 12 members of its Judicial & Public Safety Committee: Grant Eckhoff, Chair, Robert L. Larsen, Vice Chair, John Curran, Peter DiCianni, Amy L. Grant, Gary Grasso, James D. Healy, Tonia Khouri, Sean T. Noonan, Donald E. Puchalski, Sam Tornatore, and James F. Zay.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But some opponents are upset they didn’t get to testify yesterday. The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police is against legalization. Riverside Chief Tom Weitzel says it would normalize drug use. “I had signed up on behalf of Illinois chiefs to speak and I was under the impression that I could speak about our position,” he said. “I think it’s important to have the chiefs perspective officers are the ones doing the enforcement. … The proponents are well organized. They have the ear because it’s all about dollars.” Sponsors of the bills in the state house and senate say they have no intention of bringing this to the floor this legislative session. They say they will hold several more hearings to get public input in Springfield and Chicago.)

Should I write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who are filled with hatred of government employees and of government retirees?)
