Councilwoman Laura Cima took the responsible stance in today’s Record article.





Link to article by Kristi Cattafi:




From that article:




Laura Cima is correct.  Wherever marijuana has been made legal, social ills have followed.  And they are costly.


Murphy’s stance on legalization is at odds with federal law.


I question why Emil Carafa would use his “Lodi Mayor” title to endorse Phil Murphy when Murphy openly campaigned for the legalization of marijuana along with other radical, destructive ideas.  






What message does legalizing marijuana send to the youth? How will it affect student achievement?  How many more substance abuse counselors will be needed in our schools?


Elected officials like Emil Carafa should have realized that a public endorsement of Phil Murphy was an endorsement of his destructive policies.
