Comments
On a recreational marijuana bill: "It clearly makes this bill subject to a colorable constitutional challenge," Tarr said, explaining that the bill could be open to a challenge based on the idea of equal protection under the law. He added, "If this measure is adopted as presented to us, it would create two classes of communities in Massachusetts - some in which voters have the right to address a particular issue of the restriction of the sale of marijuana, and for others ... that decision would be left to local officials." 7/20/17
