United for Care Upset at Pasco County Decision to Pass Moratorium

In a unanimous decision, Pasco County commissioners voted to place a yearlong moratorium on medical marijuana. United for Care, the organization leading the charge in collecting petitions to put the decision of a comprehensive medical marijuana law before the voters in 2016 understands the difference between a ban and moratorium, but still finds the moratorium disappointing.

“We hoped that the commissioners of Pasco County would consider the needs of the patients and the detriment this yearlong moratorium could have on their citizens. Keeping medical marijuana treatment centers out of the county is not an effective way to bring safe access to their citizens,” said Ben Pollara, Campaign Manager of United the Care.

United for Care takes the position that local communities must decide what is best for themselves, but should do so in a way as to allow residents safe access to medical marijuana once it is available.

Mr. Pollara continued, “While we understand that local community leaders need to have discussions regarding new policies and do what’s best for their citizens, I think they’re jumping the gun. The commissioners are going to really hurt people who are in desperate need of relief. Hopefully they will reconsider and lift the moratorium soon."

UNITED FOR CARE MEETS 100% GOAL

According to the Division of Elections website 73, 713 petitions have been verified. That’s 5,000 over the required amount to trigger the Supreme Court review.

Campaign Manager, Ben Pollara stated, “We are thrilled at this timely accomplishment.  This is the first major milestone to bringing medical marijuana before the Florida voters in November 2016.  In the next election, voters will succeed where their elected have failed them, and pass a comprehensive, compassionate medical marijuana law to serve the hundreds of thousands of sick and suffering people who are desperate for relief in our state. Without our volunteer efforts we would not be so well positioned to make the ballot in December.”

In order to be placed on the ballot United for Care needs the Supreme Court approval and to collect 683,149 valid petitions by Feb 1, 2016. Last election, ballot placement was not approved for the dedicated team until the final hour.
----------
Campaign Chairman, John Morgan, stated, “Compassion is coming in 2016! Tallahassee is broken, but I have faith in the people of Florida. We will win and hundreds of thousands will benefit as a result.”

Hillsborough County Beware - Jim Norman Is Back

The strong conservative 
says, he will file to run for a seat on the County Commission where he was a player for nearly two decades.
----------- 
Some of Mr. Norman's Highlights
Joined the vote to ban county government from even acknowledging gay pride events. He said no to health benefits for unmarried couples including same-sex partners.
"I see this as (leading) to gay marriage next," Norman said in 2004. "This is not going to be San Francisco east."
----------
He angered black leaders with a proclamation honoring Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
----------
 He blasted Obamacare as "a socialism takeover."
----------
He hung out in Vegas with lobbyist who appeared frequently before the commission.
----------
A developer-friendly commissioner he was owned by Ralph Hughes owner of the Cast-Crete precast concrete business in Seffner. He pushed hard to rename the county's prestigious award for residents who show moral courage in standing up to government for his friend and benefactor.
"I found very quickly that Ralph expected something back from me if I was going to be one of his chosen candidates," Rose Ferlita
----------
"Payola"
La Gaceta
----------
"He won his race but did not fare well in public opinion. Public office is a public trust.Obviously, that didn't sink in to Jim Norman." 
Jan Platt
----------
"He's been carrying the water for developers for all his 18 years on the commission. He's as much responsible for the condition Hillsborough County is in today — the transportation, the sprawl mess we're in." 
Pat Kemp
----------
"Spare us. This clown is one of the reasons Hillsborough County moved backwards for years. Deny him the right to ever serve in public office again. Please." Susan Smith
