David Bowen (D-Milwaukee) released the following statement in response to a new study from UW-Madison’s La Follette School of Public Affairs that shows Wisconsin could see a $1.1 billion benefit over a five year period from the legalization of medicinal marijuana:
Two weeks ago, a Marquette University Law School Poll found that 83% of registered voters in Wisconsin support the legalization of medicinal marijuana, and yesterday’s study found that legalization could bring in over $200 million to the State every year. Rep. Bowen continued, “We are lucky to have a Governor who understands the benefits of ending Wisconsin’s outdated and unnecessary prohibition on medicinal marijuana, and whose ‘People’s Budget’ would do just that. I call on my Republican colleagues to embrace Gov. Ever’s budget and legalize medicinal marijuana in our State. Wisconsinites already know this would be a slam dunk for Wisconsin, and it is past time for Republicans to get on board.” |
