Methuen Mayor Bill Manzi posted the last Mike C Prospect Hill video interview about Methuen's city council meeting to his blog found at http://billmanzi.com/ and then went on to offer a private meeting and compromise.
Quincy City Council: RECRIMINALIZATION HEARING PROTEST 1305 Hancock St, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169 Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 Time: 7:00 - 8:00 pm By MBTA: Red Line (Braintree Train) to Quincy Center. City Hall is behind the T Station on Hancock Street.
Despite the 63% margin of voters who said "yes" to Question 2, Quincy may be looking to RE-CRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA on Tuesday, January 20, when they meet at 7pm. If they are successful, Quincy will be the first town in Massachusetts to do so since Question 2 passed.
This could open the door to more towns following suit.
Last week, the Worcester city council voted 7-4 AGAINST recriminalizing marijuana. If it is defeated in Quincy, it will show lawmakers across the state that decriminalization was the right choice, and that the voters knew what they were doing when they said "YES."
DON'T LET YOUR VOICE GET SILENCED BY THE "REEFER MADNESS MENTALITY" OF YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
Come stand with our brothers and sisters in Quincy, and lets end this re-criminalization movement now.

There's also another facebook event for this that we suggest you all RSVP to as well. It has over 117 RSVP's at this point and I know many of our supporters aren't even on facebook. So it's safe to say, that at least two of these events we will have a good number of people and a party atmosphere!
