Nevada official won't review opinion on petitions
Sandoval was the Bush re-election campaign co-chair and Heller worked the Bush campaign by forcing Sequoias on uninformed Nevadans for this election. What fool would think they could be impartial when it comes to the marijuana initiatives? They merely need to rig the Sequoias anyways ...

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Despite mounting pressure and the threat of a lawsuit, the Nevada attorney general's office will not change an opinion that led to the disqualification of initiative petitions to limit smoking in public places and legalize marijuana.

Attorney General Brian Sandoval "stands by the opinion," Tom Sargent, spokesman for Sandoval, said Monday. Sargent said reversing the decision would defy a precedent the Nevada Supreme Court set in a similar case in 1994.
