KWINTER'S MARIJUANA MISTAKE HAS AIDES RUSHING TO CLEAR AIR

What's Monte Kwinter been smoking?

It sure seemed like the community safety minister had been sampling out of
the evidence room last week when he bragged about his new, get-tough
grow-op legislation.

Kwinter said he was determined to eradicate illegal marijuana grow houses
by, among other things, giving new powers to hydro and building inspectors
to go into homes unannounced if they are suspected to be grow houses.

But moments later, his aides were scrambling to correct the record because
the proposed law won't include those powers. Whoops.

Kwinter attempted to recover by saying local utilities will be given the
power to unilaterally cut off electricity to suspect homes.
