Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said some things that may have clarified her position on the now-passed Proposition 203. Speaking on a few weeks ago at a conference of the Arizona Chiefs of Police, Brewer scolded the chiefs for what she says was their silence on Prop. 203 when it was being debated. Proposition 203 narrowly passed by only 4,340 votes out of 1.7 million cast. Governor Brewer said that she believes that they have a duty to speak with a unified voice on “irresponsible ballot measures that jeopardizes public safety” giving the passage of proposition 203 as “a good example where a unified voice might have prevented passage of this dreadful situation”
She went on to tell them that no one really explained to the public what the ramification were when looking at the legislation. When asked by a member of the audience whether she should have gone on the road to speak out against the measure before the election, she answered “probably so” and then went on that “Unfortunately, things were busy, I was busy,” she said about the time when she was campaigning to keep her job. But then added, “The bottom line is that once we realized that it was gaining such momentum, I stepped right up.’ She reminded them that since the measure passed she has directed the State Health Department to not accept applications for dispensary licenses.

When elected officials don’t listen to the will of the voters, the next election is a good time to remind them who they work for.
It’s not just that elected officials don’t listen to the will of the voters, it’s also that they aren’t smart enough to look at the facts. Aside from the propaganda provided by drug enforcement agencies (that benefit themselves in the form of funding and manpower as long as marijuana remains illegal), all the evidence provided by reputable unbiased sources such as university research departments, the medical community, and even reports from government committees have proven that marijuana is misclassified as a schedule I drug.
The fact is that politicians like Arizona Governor Jan Brewer really don’t care what the facts are, much less what the voters want. The best way to show her that what the voters want really does matter is to make sure she doesn’t get voted in for another term.
THIS WHOLE THING AS BLOWN UP IN HER FACE!!INSTEAD OF HAVING 120 TIGHTLY CONTROLED DISPENSARIES,THE STATE OF ARIZONA NOW HAS OVER 10,000 PEOPLE WHO ARE AUTHORIZED TO CULTIVATE!!GREAT JOB GOV!
Grand ma Brewer is just part of the FEAR mongers. 3rd highest tax revenue consumer is prisons. She’s worried about her investment in private prisons. When she scolded the police Chiefs about not uniting agains prop 203 , Its like saying our tax revenue is down and the revenue collectors need to get onboard. It’s so easy,whatever the government decides its about the money. Of a very poorly run enterprise.
