The secretary of state`s office says a group
sponsoring a proposed ballot item to legalize marijuana for medical
use has not gotten enough signatures.
Backers of the proposed law needed 64,456 signatures of
registered voters to get on the November second ballot. The group
had 29,974 valid names of 66,282 that were
submitted.
The primary group backing the measure has withdrawn support so
it can concentrate on states where ballot placement is assured.
Local supporters have said they will try to collect the
signatures they need to make up the difference and still try to get
the item on the ballot.
