Looking at the Numbers
Michigan.
“In
the
business
sense,
I mean it’s tax revenue,”
Moriarty
said.
“Usually
they’re small businesses
that are locally owned. I
don’t really see a negative
impact
on
communities
coming from them.”
However,
legalizing
medical
marijuana
facilities
can
cause
controversy,
which
LSA junior Kyla Truax
experienced
in
her
hometown.
“I actually live in a
town up north (Michigan),
and they were thinking
of putting in a plant right
where I live,” Truax said.
“A lot of people opposed
it, so it ended up getting
shut down and moved to a
different city … I know a
lot of people that were in
support, thought it was a
great idea to bring in jobs.”
The
Public
Policy
School
survey
also
included questions about
recreational
marijuana.
Though only 21 percent
of
local
government
officials
support
the
legalization of recreational
marijuana, 61 percent of
Michigan residents support it.
Engineering junior Margaret
Kohler
understands
the
rationale for the legalization
of
recreational
marijuana
because she foresees people
without
legitimate
medical
marijuana cards gaining access
to the drug anyway.
“I think you’d also expect
an increase in fake medical
marijuana
cards
so
that
people could get it, and it’s
almost a better argument just
to legalize recreational use,”
Kohler said.
Moriarty said he supports
the
total
legalization
of
marijuana.
“On top of medicinal, I
would support full legalization
of marijuana, and to that
end, it also decreases the
criminal element, decreases
having to put people in prison
over
marijuana
offenses,”
Moriarty said. “I don’t really
see a downside under any
circumstance.”
According to the Public
Policy
School
survey,
low
support
of
recreational
marijuana legalization among
officials is true across political
affiliation and age.

The Michigan Marching
Band
gave
an
electoral
themed
performance
Saturday
to
support
the
efforts of the Big Ten Voting
Challenge during University
of Michigan football game
against Southern Methodist
University halftime show.
The challenge seeks to
increase voter participation
across
the
14
Big
Ten
universities,
awarding
schools with the highest and
best improvement ineligible
voter turnout.
In one of its most politically
charged presentations, the
band
performed
several
formations
on
the
field
related to U.S. history and
politics, including the phrase
“We the People” and the
American flag. The band
also used its act to highlight
low voter turnout in the 2016
presidential election as well
as low voter turnout among
college
students
in
the
primaries this year.
Thanks
to
Dr.
Mark
Schlissel,
Dr.
Martin
A.
Philbert, Cynthia Wilbanks,
Kallie
Michels,
Edie
Goldenberg,
and
Mark
Clague for their help with
yesterday’s halftime show!
Also thanks to Bill and
Janelle
Sykes
for
their
support
of
Saturday’s
halftime performance.
In the video aired on
the big screen before the
performance,
University
President
Mark
Schlissel
urged students to participate
in
their
opportunity
to
share
their
voice
this
November.
Following
Schlissel’s
video presentation, speeches
from
former
Presidents
Gerald Ford, Barack Obama,
and Abraham Lincoln were
presented
on
the
video
screen. At one point in the
presentation,
marching
band members held up two
large flags one opposite ends
of the field, depicting the
Republican party elephant
and the Democratic party
donkey.
The
band
then
brought
the
two
flags
together, urging attendees to
look beyond party.
“Election day is almost
here,” Schlissel said. “We
urge students to get involved
in civilian life, get registered
and out to vote and bring
home the trophy for the
Maize and Blue.”
Central
Student
Government
and
the
Ginsberg
Center
for
Community
Service
and
Learning have collaborated
to help with the online
voter registration process.
The
University
has
also
partnered with Turbovote to
collect voting data and help
students with registration.
