I have never seen a city pass an mj ordinance on their own, and it only cost $10,000. Isn't the police chief a city employee, not a state or fed cop? Maybe he needs an opportunity to see if he can get employment w/ the state/feds as his loyalty is obviously not to his city and their laws. It is amazing how many elected officials totally disregard state rights - a founding principal of this country.
I would assume Portland, Maine is like Portland, Oregon in that it is the city = more liberal, educated, open minded while the majority of the state might be more rural, less educated and more close minded. Seems like a blanket statement, but watching any statewide vote lends to this belief.

South Portland Police Chief Ed Googins says his officers are going to ignore the people they are charged with protecting and serving. The same thing happened in Portland, which passed a similar measure earlier this year and yet still sees marijuana possession charges in their courts.
