Baker joins DeLeo and Walsh to fight pot ballot measure

BOSTON – Republican Gov. Charlie Baker has joined forces with Democratic leaders Robert DeLeo, the Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh to oppose a likely ballot question asking voters to make retail marijuana sales legal in the state.
The three officials have previously voiced opposition to legalizing pot, but the new alignment formalizes their roles in working together to defeat the proposal, which polls suggest would win a popular vote.
