Mayor Quinton Lucas and Police Chief Rick Smith don't agree on marijuana. Who's right?
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas and Police Chief Rick Smith appear to be on a collision course over decriminalizing marijuana. Lucas is for it; Smith is against it. Lucas should prevail. In a Facebook post Friday, the mayor suggested Kansas City should remove any reference to marijuana from city ordinances.
My personal opinion of drugs aside, the elected branch sets the rules and the civil servants enforce them. If Rick has such strong opinions, perhaps he ought to run for mayor next time. Until then, perhaps he could work with the tools (and rules) he’s given.

One knows what they're talking about, the other doesn't!!!
The opinion of the police chief is of no consequence. The mayor leads, the police chief follows and not option to get out of the way... The election is over and Rick Smith didn't win.
