As Illinois lawmakers debate whether to legalize recreational marijuana, some local legislators say they have concerns about it.
State Representative Mike Marron of Fithian says he is undecided on the bill, but is leaning against it….
Representative Marron added that he would like to see the specifics of the final bill. And although he is uneasy about legalizing recreational marijuana, Marron says he wants to be at the table to see it’s done right if it is approved.
Senator Scott Bennett also has concerns about legalizing recreational marijuana….
‘’It’s a scary road,’’ said Bennett. He questions if Illinois legalizes recreational marijuana what might it legalize next just to profit from it?
The two legislators were commenting on WDAN 1490am Radio’s ‘Newsmakers’ program.
