CLAIM OF HOODWINKED VOTERS IS AN INSULT

I wished to reply to a recent op-ed piece by Wellesley Deputy Chief of
Police Brooks to the election results on Question 2, which was
approved by almost two out of three voters on the question. The
opinion expressed in the piece that the adult electorate was too
stupid to know what they were voting for ( " they've been
hoodwinked " ) is insulting to the voters. This opinion has appeared
in other statements by the district attorneys and others disappointed
in the election results. The majority of the electorate said to stop
treating responsible adult users of cannabis as criminals. Why is it
that public servants can tell their ultimate employers that their
decision was faulty?
