On July 16, proponents of a local initiative in Bridgeport, Ohio, asked the State Supreme Court to order the village clerk to accept their initiative. The initiative lowers the penalty for marijuana possession to the lowest level allowed by state law. The case is State of Ohio ex rel William Schmitt v Village of Bridgeport, 2021-0878.
Three times the proponents brought their completed petitions to the clerk, and each time he refused to accept them. Here is the complaint.
Bridgeport is in Belmont County, across the Ohio River from Wheeling, West Virginia.
