NATION'S MAYORS URGE STATE CONTROL OF POT

LAS VEGAS - Hundreds of mayors from around the nation voted Monday to 
urge the federal government to give states leeway in establishing 
marijuana policies.

The resolution was among dozens of symbolic measures city leaders 
unanimously passed on the last day of the 81st annual U.S. Conference 
of Mayors meeting in Las Vegas. The mayors also urged Congress to 
adopt comprehensive immigration reform, expand background checks for 
firearm purchases and establish an "Office of Urban Agriculture."
