Arizona Supreme Court says legal marijuana measure on ballot
PHOENIX (AP) — A voter initiative to legalize recreational marijuana will be on the November ballot after the Arizona Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a final legal challenge to the measure.
Most of the new state revenue would go to Arizona public schools and education programs.
In another development Wednesday, a Maricopa County judge ordered one change to the ballot description voters will see but rejected other revisions sought by the backers.
Judge James Blomo agreed with the measure's backers that the description crafted by Secretary of State Michele Reagan wrongly said marijuana will be legal for people over 21, when it should be 21 and older, and ordered it changed.
