MADISON: The Dane County Board’s Executive Committee unanimously voted Thursday night to send to the full County Board a resolution that would put an advisory referendum on medical marijuana on county ballots in the Nov. 2 general election. The vote to adopt Res. 70, 10-11, Referendum on Medical Marijuana by the full 37-member panel is scheduled for the Thursday July 15 meeting.

The resolution asks whether board members want to place the following question before voters:

“Should the Wisconsin Legislature enact legislation allowing residents with debilitating medical conditions to acquire and possess marijuana for medical purposes if supported by their physician?”

A public hearing will be convened during Thursday’s County Board meeting at which supporters will have the opportunity to register or testify in support. Because the hearing is part of a meeting, testimony is usually limited to five speakers. The meeting will begin at 7:00 pm in Room 201 of the City-County Building 210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in downtown Madison. Supporters are urged to attend and register in support as well as contact their County Supervisor and ask they vote for the medical marijuana advisory referendum resolution.
