The state's most famous purveyor of medical marijuana and others have sued to keep a marijuana legalization initiative off the November ballot.
Claiming Initiative 502 could be "ruinous" to the state budget, opponents filed a lawsuit late last week in King County Superior Court claiming the ballot should warn voters of the measure's costs.
Evaluators at the state Office of Financial Management have not yet said whether they believe the measure -- which would regulate marijuana production, distribution and possession — will have positive or negative financial impact if passed by voters.
Contacted Thursday, civil liberties attorney and I-502 supporter Alison Holcomb noted state law gives the Office of Financial Management until Aug. 10 to issue its opinion. She said she remains "confident the agency will meet its deadline."
