EDITORIAL
By:
www.mpp.org
Utah's
statewide newspaper supports
medical
marijuana, but the state still
threatens
patients with prison
Utah's legislative session ended without a medical marijuana
bill being introduced. Sadly, seriously ill Utah residents will
continue to be treated as criminals for using their
medicine—until legislators have the courage and compassion to
act. Unfortunately, legislators are not in tune with the
population or with the Salt Lake Tribune, a statewide
newspaper, which recently editorialized in support of medical
marijuana. Click
here to read the editorial.
It is time to show legislators that
the public wants to change the way Utah treats medical marijuana
patients. Please urge your legislators to introduce a medical
marijuana bill next session: Only you can convince them that this
issue is vital to Utah residents.
Please take a few moments to
Take Action.
After you choose your favorite pre-written letter and type in your
address, our site will automatically e-mail your letter to your
legislators … all with the click of a few buttons. The whole
process takes less than two minutes, but it makes a world of
difference. Also, you can print the letters and send them to your
legislators through regular mail.
Eight states currently protect
medical marijuana patients from arrest and imprisonment. In 2003,
MPP helped a ninth state, Maryland, pass a law that removed the
threat of prison for the medical use of marijuana.
Polls
consistently show massive public support for this issue. Indeed,
the Salt Lake Tribune is one of many newspapers that have
declared support for medical marijuana. Utah legislators must
learn that a majority of the public cares about the fate of
seriously ill Utah residents. This cannot happen without your
help. Please Take
Action now.
Thank you for supporting the
Marijuana Policy Project. Please pass this information on so that
even more voices for reform can be heard.

Layton City
Infringing on Local
Property Owners Rights
Staff Writer - February 26, 2007
Layton City -
Code Enforcement
Officers have recently swept through local neighborhoods, leaving many
property owners angry or bewildered. One Code Enforcement Officer said
"We don't look for violations unless we have a complaint". When
questioned further the officer responded by saying "Most of us would
rather not respond to anonymous complaints, but it is department policy
and when we get a complaint about a property owner we have to respond".
Officers look for
unregistered vehicles, weeds, improperly stored personal items, trash,
untrimmed trees, and untidy yards. Most complaints are anonymous. We can
only suppose why they choose not to give their names. Violations are
misdemeanors and could subject the property owner to hundreds of dollars
in in fines, and possibly even some jail time if the property owner gets
a little too up-etty about his or her rights, such as the right to quiet
enjoyment or the right to not be trespassed upon.
Perhaps there are a few
individual residents in Layton who are using the city as a tool for
harassment or revenge, much the way the state's DCFS office is regularly
used. These spineless excuses for humanity would rather call the cops on
a neighbor than go to that person and offer some help. Some who feel
victimized lash out at other neighbors thinking that 'That jerk down the
street has a yard way worse than mine' or "I'll bet it was that So & So
a few houses down who called them on me, I'll fix him good by calling on
him".
Almost all of the
citizens targeted by the police are living in poverty. Many of the folks
victimized by this type of enforcement are elderly or handicapped and
have a hard time doing yard work. Layton officials are sympathetic, but
say their hands are tied. "The Law Is The Law". City Council members
were un available for comment.

Layton City General Election
Unofficial Results
Staff writer - November 11, 2005
Proving that you actually can fool most of the
people most of the time: 77.52% of eligible citizens disregarded their
right to vote in this election and walked away from their responsibility
to OVERSEE the government by choosing who shall represent them.
Today is veterans day. These rights were secured
for you by the blood sacrifice of millions of American Veterans. Is this
how you repay that sacrifice? Is this the legacy of apathy that you
choose to leave your children? How long will you, or can you stay
free, wallowing in your decadence and abandoning your responsibilities?

Layton - Max Lunger, an acclaimed local artist who works in Glass
and Stone, in cooperation with local landscaping company AllBuild
Construction, has created an Etched Glass Portrait and stone monument to
slain Florida girl, Jessica Lunsford. Lunger and the Owner of AllBuild
Ed Muller, traveled to Florida, braving hurricane Wilma to install the
stone monument at Jessica's local church in time for its local Florida
dedication. Both men were moved by Jessica's ordeal and donated
thousands of dollars in time, materials and money to honor the memory of
Jessica.
Utah Community News Honors Mr. Ed
Muller, and Mr. Max Lunger as heroes who made a difference, and provided
a moving example to all of us here in Utah. It is amazing just how good
some people can be in a world that often seems so sick and twisted.
Jessica Lunsford's rape and murder was
the impetus for the passage of Jessica's Law in Florida and other
states. Congress is considering similar legislation to track convicted
sex offenders nationally.
