Since we're talking about Lafayette's pot issues (and receiving lots of comments, almost as many as Wal-Mart topics generate!) I thought people may be interested to know Longmont's attorney has been asked to help determine if smoking pot while driving in Boulder ( a misdemeanor) is considered a crime under the city's charter language. If so, City Councilor Richard Polk may be removed from his seat.
What's interesting is the vague language that goes back to 1909, which says you can be removed if convicted of a crime or felony. "Crime" and the intention of the word at the time is being analyzed. Read the Daily Times Call and the Daily Camera articles. Plus there's an interesting editorial about Polk and Rob Smoke in the Camera.
