SURPRISED BUT PLEASED BY VIEW

It was a pleasant surprise to see your paper editorialize in favor of 
the medical marijuana bill. Calling out the cowardice and lack of 
compassion of the legislators who voted against the bill was commendable.

Truth be told, the full legalization and taxation of pot in Illinois 
would provide the state with a way out of its fiscal morass, while 
causing no harm.

However, we can all rest assured that my new representative, Dwight 
Kay, won't endorse either plan, at least not until marijuana secures 
a corporate sponsor.
