UBCM should hold pot vote again

Decisions on issues like pot decriminalization should not be decided by a show of hand.

Editor: Re: Councillor Steve Ferguson’s remarks about the pot vote (The Times, Oct. 2).

He made a very good point on the method of voting — show of hands verses electronic voting. He is absolutely correct on this.

There are so many that will go with the flow and not stand firm on what they believe, if they have to do it in public. I am willing to bet that the person or persons who dreamed up the idea to have a show of hands is also in favour of decriminalization of pot.

They knew intimidation would help them gain votes. The vote should be taken again, and the first vote be considered null and void.
