An attorney for the group seeking to legalize recreational use of marijuana told a judge Friday she can’t keep the measure off the ballot even if she believes it is confusing or fraudulent.
Roy Herrera is not conceding that the 9,900-word initiative is either.
He also said that Arizona voters are smart enough to be able to read the measure for themselves — and reject it.
But he told Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Jo Lynn Gentry that her power to decide a not-yet-enacted voter-crafted proposal is flawed and block a vote is no more than her ability to tell lawmakers that a bill they are considering is not fit for a final vote.
That suggestion of the limit on her power clearly bothered Gentry.
