He said he was seeking to stop the ballots from being printed pending the completion of two recently filed lawsuits -- one he filed and the other filed by Paula Laguna and George Hanamoto. Johnson’s suit alleges that Measure B defies the will of the voters by trying to repeal Measure G. Laguna and Hanamoto’s suit alleges that Measure B cannot be placed on the ballot because it contains two subjects, and thus violates the California state constitution, according to the lawsuit. Measure B, which was placed on the ballot by the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors in January, would set possession limits for medical marijuana in Mendocino County at 12 immature or six mature plants and eight ounces of dried marijuana, the same as the limits set by the state. Measure B would also repeal Measure G, MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal the 2000 ballot measure that instructed law Author Shirley Castro reads from “The Pelican Family Counting Book” during story time at the Ukiah branch of enforcement to make the prosecution of anyone the Mendocino County Library Tuesday. growing fewer than 25 plants its lowest priori- ty.
