"Now I've been very clear where I stand on this issue, I am in favor of decriminalizing marijuana," he said at the meeting. "But I don't feel tonight that we have adequately told the public that this is actually what is being considered. I think we have said that there is requests for a vote to take place by the voters. So I think that if we are to pass it tonight as the motion is asking us, there are a lot of people that would probably weigh in to this discussion that didn't come out tonight."
