Local Opinions on Ballot Question #1: Legalizing Marijuana
Passaic County Young Republican President Donnie DeDio:
“After much internal deliberation, I will be voting NO for Marijuana Legalization.
I am passionate about preserving individual liberty and freedom; I certainly do not believe that it is the government’s responsibility to dictate how we choose to live our lives. However, I do not believe that society is ready for marijuana legalization. It will send a harmful message and wrongly confuse our youth about the real dangers behind the drug.
