Lansing medical marijuana petition fails

An attempt to speed up the process of regulating medical marijuana in Lansing has failed.

The city clerk has determined the "Lansing Loves Safe Jobs" petition does not meet the legal requirements.

The city attorney says the petition is confusing and improperly tries to change zoning rules -- something that can't be done via ballot proposal.

Organizers were hoping to put it on the ballot rather than wait for the city council to finish its marijuana ordinance.
