Breckenridge Votes Overwhelmingly To Legalize Marijuana
From Huffington Post Nov 7, 2009

DENVER — The Colorado ski town of Breckenridge has voted overwhelmingly to legalize marijuana.
Early returns Tuesday night showed the proposal winning with 72 percent of the vote. The measure would allow adults over 21 to have up to 1 ounce of marijuana.
The measure is largely symbolic because pot possession remains a state crime for people without medical clearance. But supporters said they wanted to send a message to local law enforcement to stop busting small-time pot smokers.

Here in Ann Arbor, we have the oldest municipal decriminalization law still in existence in the U.S.
In 1972 the Ann Arbor City Council made marijuana possession a $5 fine. It’s like a parking ticket.
In 1990, the fine was raised to $25 after Republican (in Ann Arbor?) mayor Gerald Jernigan called the initial law "an embarrassment."
We haven’t had a Republican since.
