YES on S – Imperial Beach Prop S Campaign Kickoff

Saturday, September 1st at 2pm, YES on S will be holding a campaign volunteer kickoff event at 1233 Palm Ave Imperial Beach

Local prohibitionists groups, led by Mayor Jim Janney and City Manager Gary Brown, have launched an opposition campaign wrought with . The campaign ignores all scientific evidence in support of medical marijuana, and marginalizes the overwhelming support for regulations that exists in the city.
