Marijuana Advocates Forget to File for Ballot
LAS VEGAS (AP) – An initiative to legalize pot in Nevada might go up in smoke after organizers forgot to file 6,000 petition signatures by a June 15 deadline.
Clark County (search) Registrar Larry Lomax said Billy Rogers, president of the political consulting firm seeking to qualify the petition, is pleading for him to accept the 6,000 names.
“Unfortunately, the state law says they have to turn it all in by June 15,” Lomax said.
