The second link is a partial solution for a drop in shootings across the city. But, as true to form, our politicians and the wealthy will get greedy and fuck it up for everyone.

Instead of using the revenue marijuana legalization will bring into the city and state for roads, bridges, and replacing aging pipes and sewer systems, they will give it to greedy corporations who'll want to privatize the shit out of these much needed projects around the city and state. If you don't believe that, just look at how they fucked the state lottery up. Those proceeds were designated for a "school fund" so we wouldn't have teacher strikes and better, fully funded schools so they couldn't slash curriculum's, academic or athletic. What did our brain-dead politicians do? Sold it. Privatize the shit out of it. Look at your pensions. The same politicians conned your union leaders into giving that hard earned money to Wall Fucking Street. These fuckers gambled your money without a care in the world. They then turn around and tell you that they must cut your hard earned pensions so the city and state can stay afloat.

Fucked up right? Now, what do we have?  More dead and wounded. No infrastructure rebuilding. Public school debt. City debt. State debt. We gave taxpayer money to corporate owners who just put the fucking money in their pockets. The city and state is waving 2 billion taxpayer dollars in a companies face just to move here, and we have homeless veterans living on the streets.

Honestly, I hope they do legalize and tax marijuana just like booze. I hope they learn from the mistakes of the past. But, I'm not holding my breath. We still have politicians and the wealthy chomping at the bit just to fuck it all up for everyone.
