Everyone changes their mind. After all, when circumstances change it's the prudent choice! However, we shouldn't vote out every pot-friendly politician with whom we have any disagreement. We'll be left with no one! Claire is right on a preponderance of issues that relate to marijuana and her background gives her a good grasp of the technical details of land use, permitting and planning as they relate to centers and growing operations. I really don't give a hoot about Levy's retention- my Boulder days are in the past- but I think it would be a a net negative to lose her contributions, not only w/r/t pot but to broader civil liberty issues. She's very liberal on all the issues so there are innumerable reasons why a person might not vote for her, but she has been receptive to retail medical marijuana, and also to lowering and removing penalties for recreational smokers. Replace her if you like, but it's a virtual certainty that we'll find more bones to pick with her successor than with Levy.
