Sarasota Herald-Tribune Editorial Board Really, how you feel about the Sarasota County commissioners’ call for the county to have control over recreational marijuana use within it boils down to one question: What do you believe is motivating the commissioners to seek county control in the first place? If you believe the commissioners are genuinely motivated by good-government zeal, you can certainly embrace their suggestion that asking the Legislature to give Sarasota County flexibility in deciding on the legality of local recreational marijuana use – even if it’s legalized statewide – is simply about protecting the home-rule rights of communities across Florida.
