EFFORT SEEKS TO KEEP POT ILLEGAL
PRIDE-Omaha officials announced a campaign Wednesday to combat any
efforts in Nebraska to legalize marijuana in the state.
Susie Dugan, PRIDE-Omaha's executive director, said that the local
anti-drug organization that began in 1978 was unveiling KNOW, Keep
Nebraska Off Weed.
Dugan said the campaign was opposed to at least two efforts in
Nebraska collecting signatures to get a proposed constitutional
amendment on the November 2012 general election ballot legalizing
marijuana. It would take signatures from 10 percent of registered
voters in Nebraska to put a proposed amendment on the ballot. In 2008,
that number was more than 112,000 signatures.
