MAYOR, VISION CREATED CITY'S MARIJUANA MESS

What a load of nonsense is the City of Vancouver's decision to seek
injunctions against unlicensed marijuana shops. The city is only
having to close these stores because Mayor Gregor Robertson allowed
them to open in the first place.

I said two years ago when we had 20 stores that they were illegal and
that they should be closed and who said no? Coun. Kerry Jang, the
mayor's colleague in Vision.

Why are there no stores in Burnaby?

How much in legal fees will this cost Vancouver taxpayers? Millions
and millions of dollars to enforce illegal action from Day 1.

Robertson and some council members are to blame for allowing this to
take place. We should do what Toronto did and close them down now.
