PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - A third effort is afoot to get marijuana legalization on Maine's ballot.
Democratic state Rep. Mark Dion of Portland says he is talking to other legislators about co-sponsoring his bill. The bill proposes to ask residents about creation, regulation and taxation of a structure for recreational use of marijuana. It includes a proposed 10 percent tax rate for recreational marijuana.
Dion's bill is winding through the state legislature as two groups are organizing petition drives to get legalization on the ballot.
