Local ballot question results: Marajuana decriminalized, state income tax not repealed
0 page views
Results from the three state ballot questions are in, and the results are significant.
Question 2, which decriminalizes small amounts of marajuana (making posession more akin to a speeding ticket than a criminal infraction), was approved by a 65 percent to 35 percent majority, according to Boston Globe reports.
Question 1, which would have repealed the state income tax, was voted down by a similarly large margin: 69 percent voted no and 31 percent voted yes.
Question 3, which would ban dog racing, was closer, but the Globe reports show it as having passed by a 57 percent to 43 percent majority.
More on these results to come.
