BRODY: Use WA marijuana tax revenue to improve law and order

“The passage of Initiative 502 provides state and local governments with an opportunity to significantly improve the criminal-justice system for the next generation. A windfall of half a billion dollars in tax revenue is projected by 2015, according to the state. State and local leaders should use the money to invest in law enforcement, criminal courts and the prison system, agencies that have been starved of resources in recent years. Let’s use this money to improve law and order in Washington state.” David Brody at the Seattle Times
