Austin City Council puts decriminalizing low-level marijuana offenses on May ballot

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin voters will get to decide whether to decriminalize low-level marijuana offenses and ban "no-knock" police warrants in May, after Austin City Council approved a ballot measure Tuesday.
The ballot measure is called the "Austin Freedom Act" and was launched last June by Ground Game Texas, an organization that's working on "building a progressive Texas from the ground up," according to its website.PAST COVERAGE: Organization pushes to decriminalize marijuana and end &lsq
