Vetoes Stand on Marijuana Possession, Internet Cash  Backers of
a plan to allow police to write tickets for marijuana possession
picked up one vote on the city council, but still fell short of
overriding a mayoral veto this week.  The plan would have made
it possible but not necessary for cops to write a ticket for up
to 25 grams.  City council member Chris Olson, who authored the
proposal, says it just gets the city up to speed with other
communities.  But several other council members said the idea
sent a message of drug tolerance.  Council members also
sustained a mayoral veto of a proposal that would have added 25
dollars to the expense account of each council member to offset
the cost of a home internet connection.
