That Karl Rhoads. …
First the House Judiciary Chairman kills gay marriage legislation, then he kills the marijuana bill. Says there aren’t enough votes for either measure.
House Bill 699, which would have allowed people 21 and older to use limited amounts of marijuana for personal use, provide for cultivation and sales, died in committee.
