UGA NORML

This semester for Dr. Martin's Public Affairs Reporting 5300 class, I have been covering UGA Police and related stories. 

For the third week's assignment, I worked on a piece detailing NORML at UGA, the group who supported Proposition 42 in front of the Athens-Clarke County board in December. The proposition would legalize small amounts of marijuana being held by those over 18. I talked to members of NORML and the chief of UGA Police because I was interested to know how local law enforcement felt about the crime. 

None of those I interviewed were too keen on being recorded (its often strange how similar the two camps are), so I have recorded myself reading a section of the story with some of (in my opinion) the best quotes.
