from Westword:
Update: The Board of Health meeting on medical-marijuana - Denver News - The Latest Word

Update, 11:44 a.m. It's all over, but not without a fight.

The meeting began at 11:30 a.m., when board of health members began discussing a wording change, says Westword staffer Joel Warner, who was inside the hearing. Then they voted unanimously to do so.

But when they announced that they wouldn't be taking public comment, the meeting quickly devolved into a shouting match between attorney and medical marijuana advocate Rob Corry and Glenn Schlabs, the chairman of the Board of Health, who was not at the meeting, but on the phone via teleconference.

Corry eventually backed off when Schlabs told him he was out of order and police began to walk toward him. Corry, who was soon surrounded by TV cameras, eventually declared the entire proceeding illegal and told Schlabs he would see him in court.

The meeting adjourned at 11:38, but most of the crowd remained.

Stay tuned to the Latest Word for analysis from Warner this afternoon.
