Why is a drug legalization lobby from Washington D.C. writing Nevada law?
The initiative is sponsored by Nevadans for Responsible Law Enforcement, headed by Billy Rogers. Mr. Rogers is director of state policies for the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), a legalization lobby based in Washington D.C. MPP set up Nevadans for Responsible Law Enforcement and financed the $300,000 effort to collect the signatures to get the initiative on the November ballot, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
