By BARBARA HOBEROCK World Capitol Bureau
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt has found problems with the ballot title of an initiative petition seeking to let voters decide whether medical marijuana should be legalized.
On April 11, Oklahomans for Health gave notice to the secretary of state that the organization was seeking to circulate an initiative petition to get the issue on the November ballot.
The group needs 155,216 signatures to put its measure on the ballot.
In an April 18 letter to Secretary of State Chris Benge, Pruitt outlined several problems with the wording of the ballot title.
