Eight hundred eighty-one people visited the Raymond Frye Complex in Wellington on Dec. 6. Six hundred fifty-two of those people voted against an ordinance that would regulate the sale of “methamphetamine precursor drugs” such as pseudoephedrine and ephedrine or products containing either  of those drugs.

In the minority were the 229 people that voted in favor of the ordinance. Should the legislation have been passed, it would have been in effect for 10-years.

Now that the people have voted “no,” the City Council can still consider an ordnance regulating the drugs, which is unlikely since they sent it to a people’s vote. Legislation could also be passed at the State level which could regulate the afore mentioned products.
Just over 17 percent of voters turned out for the election. These results are still unofficial.
