The Citistates Group presents

Welcome to Citiwire.net — July 11, 2010

Welcome to Citiwire.net! My most recent column — “Mexico — America’s Victim,” on the cross-border drug issue — touched off a geyser of responses. To check a sampling of same, click http://citiwire.net/post/2117/. Not content with that, my column this week focuses on California’s upcoming vote on legalized marijuana and the shocking racist history of anti-marijuana drug policy politics in America. … The Citistates Group commentary of the week is a sort of double-header — our Associate Mary Newsom (of the Charlotte Observer) reporting on startling findings on inner-city compact versus suburban mall development tax yields being brought to national attention by our Associate Peter Katz (Sarasota County Director of Smart Growth).
