Judge Voids Ypsi $5 Law!

    Democracy or no democracy, District Court Judge Thomas F. Shea took the opportunity last Thursday to void Ypsilanti's legally enacted S5 weed law.

    Declaring that the "city has no power to enact a law which interferes with state law ", Shea overturned the $5 law in the case of David Gray. Gray now faces up to four years in prison instead of a ticket.

    Gray was arrested a while back after  allegedly caught smuggling joints in to a friend in the City jail. His case was made into a test of the law by the Ypsi police.

   We'll have more on this situation next issue, as it came down just before press time. Take note that a special Ypsi City Council meeting will be held on this matter Wednesday at 7:30. Some irate Ypsilantians are calling for a smoke-in at Council to help convince that body to take some -action.
