Spineless Wisconsin GOP leadership unable to build support for medical marijuana

 

Benzinga, 1/31/2023

In a recent interview on “UPFRONT,” Vos pointed out that lawmakers are still divided on the issues. “We’re not that close,” Vos said. “I think it’s unlikely unless we can figure a way to find some middle-ground consensus." 

Vos’ comments come on the heels of the state Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu (R) in which he told “Capital City Sunday” that he thinks the legislation garnered enough support from Senate Republicans to pass, writes WKOW-TV’s. 

"I think we have- we might have 17 votes to get medical marijuana across the finish line," LeMahieu said. "Once again, I think Senator Felzkowski is working on that bill with the Assembly."
