District administrative offices.But YAPG housing task

force director Dan Specht toldthe Press & Dakotan Thursdaythe number of apartments isn’tnecessarily set in stone.

“(Seventy) is the prelimi-nary plan,” Specht said. “Thatcould change as we move for-ward with financing and thosekinds of things. ... This samebuilder just built one in Ab-erdeen that was 77 (units) andthen he built one in Mitchellwith 60, so it could varysome.”

Mingo said it could benefitthe market to have this manyunits added since the housingstudy may have looked at moreconservative estimates.

“Our housing study said wedo need that many (units), butnot in one lump,” he said. “Butsince the housing study wasdone, we’ve also had the man-ufacturers come and say in-stead of 300-500 people, theyhave a need for more like 500-800 people. What the housinganalysis says, I think, is a veryconservative estimate as forwhat we need for housing.”

In other business Thursday,the committee discussed:

• Building permits in thecity for January.

• Business signage on theHighway 52 corridor.

• Set their next meeting forMay 14.

crete medical evidencerather than anecdotes. Peter-son said he’s concerned thatpeople aren’t carefully con-sidering the potential long-term health effects onyouths, pointing to medicalstudies that suggest it leadsto memory loss and otherbrain problems.

Garrett said the bill wouldhelp alleviate suffering for anarrowly tailored range ofmedical problems, andwould allow the state to reg-ulate its quality and potency.Doctors could prescribe thedrug for epilepsy, Crohn’sdisease, Huntington’s dis-ease, glaucoma, multiplesclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s dis-ease and chemotherapy-in-duced nausea. Garrett saidhe plans to expand the list toinclude post-traumatic stressdisorder.

Garrett, a military con-tractor who said he hasnever smoked pot, opposesrecreational marijuana butsaid conversations with con-

stituents persuaded him tointroduce the bill.

“At the end of the day,this is about being compas-sionate and helping people.We don’t outlaw prescriptionmedications just becausesomebody might abusethem,” he said.

Garrett said he believesthe bill will get voted out ofcommittee, but its prospectsin the full Legislature are un-clear. If it passes, Nebraskawould join 23 other statesand the District of Columbiain allowing pot for medicaluse.

Maggie Graham, a 62-year-old retired teacher fromOmaha, said marijuanawould help her cope with di-abetes, fibromyalgia, arthri-tis and high blood pressure.Graham traveled to Coloradoafter it was legalized and sawthat marijuana helped easeher pain and regulate herblood-sugar levels.

“It gave me the energy Ineeded to get through theday,” she said.

Graham said the drughelped relieve her sister’ssuffering after she was diag-nosed with a rare cancer,and would have helped a

brother who died of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

The debate comes as localand state officials in Nebraskatry to overturn neighboringColorado’s decision to legal-ize recreational marijuana. OnThursday, sheriffs from Col-orado, Kansas and Nebraskasued the state of Colorado fordecriminalizing pot. The at-torneys general of Nebraskaand Oklahoma have asked theU.S. Supreme Court to declarethe voter-approved Coloradopolicy unconstitutional.

“As public officials, wehave a responsibility to cre-ate a brighter future foryoung Nebraskans,” Petersonsaid. “The frustration I haveis that a lot of Nebraskansmay be taking this lightly.”

Peterson said he’s con-cerned that legalization billssend a message to teenagersthat marijuana isn’t a bigdeal, and that medical mari-juana could open the door torecreational pot.

“I understand that thereare some very compelling,emotional stories,” he said.“But once medical marijuanagets in, it’s just the first step.”
