SURPRISED BUT PLEASED BY VIEW

It was a pleasant surprise to see your paper editorialize in favor of
the medical marijuana bill. Calling out the cowardice and lack of
compassion of the legislators who voted against the bill was commendable.

Truth be told, the full legalization and taxation of pot in Illinois
would provide the state with a way out of its fiscal morass, while
causing no harm.

However, we can all rest assured that my new representative, Dwight
Kay, won't endorse either plan, at least not until marijuana secures
a corporate sponsor.
