  How much taxpayer money would be "saved" in WA if a pot legalization initiative (like I-1068) passes (with regard to incarceration and paperwork)?

  2 0 Strang First, let's get one fact straight - there is no way police officer's in WA cost $22/hr. I am a controller in an Electronic Mfg company - the basic cost of our lowest paid employee is $22/hr. For any law enforcement I would start off with at least $50 PLUS add equipment, vehicle, real estate, office space, administration (they need mgmt right - at least that is what the police chief's say). I would suggest that a burdened rate would be well over $100/hr - that might be low in Seattle/Spokane. Now we are talking about real money!!! The issue is - how do tax payers want their money spent - attacking and encaging peaceful citizens who are smoking flowers - or actually providing some benefit to the citizenry.... I know many of the Police Chiefs (albeit not all since I had the opportunity to meet the very cool Chief of Blaine who understands what the priorities are) like beating up people who smoke flowers - you know easy to do, high budget item - typically small minded special interest, self-centered profiteering mind set...
