SPRINGVILLE, AL — When Springville mayor Dave Thomas announced he would run for governor of Alabama, he also mentioned that one of his platforms would be to decriminalize marijuana, which prompted a response from the City Council, according to the Trussville Tribune. Council members said at Monday night's meeting that they have received numerous calls since the mayor's recent comments, and presented a proclamation for approval in support of law enforcement. While the proclamation does not mention Thomas specifically, it does say, "selective adherence to, and enforcement of, the Laws is inappropriate in a civilized society and can ultimately lead to anarchy." Thomas admitted to using marijuana when spoke to reporters about his policy ideas after his announcement of a gubernatorial run. Thomas said Monday he does not have a problem with the council's proclamation. Read more about the Springville City Council meeting in the Trussville Tribune.
