Just the Facts Initiative This subcommittee’s primary objective will be implementing the new "Just the Facts" Initiative to spread education and awareness about the detrimental effects of marijuana legalization. Supported by several key figures in Nevada County, we're confident that the "Just the Facts" Initiative will be successful in generating the necessary support from the community which will ensure defeat of any legalization initiatives on the ballot this coming November. This year alone we've already had two home invasion robberies over marijuana, the first on January 2nd, the second on February 19th. |
