NATS
AND ACCORDING TO THOSE CAMPAIGNING LIKE RON GILLIS, IT'S A PRIME SPOT TO REACH VOTERS.
NATS
BUT, GILLIS -- WHO'S CAMPAIGNING FOR HIS WIFE -- SAYS HE AND OTHERS WERE TOLD THEY CAN'T DISPLAY THEIR SIGNS.
It really boils down to a first amendment right to freedom of speech.
COUNTY LAW SAYS SIGNS CAN'T BE IN THE GROUND ON COUNTY PROPERTY.
BUT CAMPAIGNERS *CAN HOLD THEM.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RAY SANDROCK SAYS IT BECAME A PROBLEM IN THE PRIMARY.
SO THEY TRIED TO BE MORE STRICT ABOUT THE RULES THIS TIME.
SOME CAMPAIGNING FOR WRITE-IN CANDIDATES.LIKE GILLIS. FELT IT WASN'T RIGHT.
AND NOW -- ONE WEEK AFTER THEY WERE TOLD "NO" -- THE COUNTY MADE TEMPORARY CHANGES FOR JUST THIS ELECTION.
Our attorneys got together, they made the decision that we should pull back, but we will turn right around next election at the very beginning of the primary to full blown communication on what our expectations are.
Obviously I'm happy that it's permitted to go on.
AND WITH THE ELECTION JUST DAYS AWAY.
THIS CHANGE GIVES CAMPAIGNERS LIKE GILLIS A FEW MORE CHANCES TO REACH VOTERS.
At least we have a few days to get somewhat of a message out there.

COLORADO VOTERS AREN'T JUST PICKING A NEW PRESIDENT, THEY'RE VOTING ON WHETHER TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA.
AMENDMENT 64 WOULD CREATE A NETWORK OF MARIJUANA STORES JUST LIKE LIQUOR STORES.
PAST ATTEMPTS -- AS RECENTLY AS 2006 -- WERE DEFEATED.
BUT ONE MAJOR THING HAS CHANGED.
SINCE THEN -- COLORADO HAS DEVELOPED A ROBUST MEDICAL MARIJUANA INDUSTRY.
MORE THAN 100-THOUSAND PEOPLE ARE LEGALLY USING MARIJUANA FOR MEDICAL REASONS. AND THERE ARE MORE THAN 500 DIPENSARIES AROUND THE STATE.

We can take marijuana off the streets where it is universally available and put it behind a counter, where we can start to realize the tax benefits, where we can limit access to only the people are permitted to buy it. And we can create jobs and new businesses, as well as stop criminalizing more than 10-thousand Coloradans every year.
EVEN IF AMENDMENT 64 DOES PASS, MARIJUANA IS STILL AGAINST FEDERAL LAW SO IT'S UNCLEAR IF THE MEASURE COULD BE IMPLEMENTED.

NBC2 HAS AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE FINAL JOURNEY OF ATLANTIS.
Return to index of stories...
PICTURE PERFECT WEATHER THIS WEEKEND
It's shaping up to be an absolutely delightful weekend across Southwest Florida.
Sunny skies, comfortable temperatures, and low humidity will headline this first weekend of November, and there's a few more surprises coming down the road as we head into next week.
Sunday will be another beauty. Highs will again climb into the low to mid 80s, and we'll be treated to more blue skies and sunshine from start to finish. Humidity will be a few notches higher but will stay very comfortable. If you're heading out to chow down at Taste of the Town, the weather looks perfect.
The sunny weather carries over into next week until we hit a little speed bump on Tuesday as the next cold front slips into Southwest Florida. We'll notice more cloud cover along with the potential for some scattered showers during the afternoon and evening. While rain chances get a little boost, the chance of getting wet will only be around 30%, so this won't be a wash out-just a few hit-or-miss showers roaming around.
After the front passes, another batch of cool, dry air will come rushing into Southwest Florida starting Wednesday. There are signs this front may actually be the strongest one so far this season, and we'll feel the difference Wednesday. Temperatures should only warm into the middle 70s despite a nice supply of sunshine, and a noticeable chill returns to the air Wednesday night as temperatures cool into the low 50s with some 40s deeper inland.
Temperatures will then begin to moderate a bit Thursday and Friday as daytime highs approach 80 degrees.
Enjoy this beautiful stretch of weather from the weekend into next week, and remember.the clocks fall back an hour tonight!
