Come on Maui Police — go after the real criminals instead of handing out anti-marijuana pamphlets.
Which makes us wonder – how is Police Chief, Gary Yabuta getting away with using county employees and county funds to lobby against a proposed state bill decriminalizing marijuana?
We’re not accusing the Chief of corruption – only of a lapse in judgment and running afoul of the legal requirement that County resources cannot be used for lobbying purposes. His job is to enforce the laws that the voters decide upon — not to lobby against what is the overwhelming will of the voters – decriminalization of marijuana.
Why is the Police Commission letting this slide?
We admit to being just a bit sour that the police seem to go after easy drug targets (nonviolent, mostly law-abiding pot smokers) while seemingly being scared to face down the dangerous meth dealers and users.
