Comments

On Marijuana legalization in Iowa:

Iowa Sen. Carrie Koelker, R-Dyersville, said she is wary of expanding medical marijuana access beyond what already has been granted, and she does not support legalizing recreational marijuana use in the state. “It feels like if you give them an inch, then everyone wants you to give them a mile,” she said. “We have a lot of people that do not support (recreational marijuana).” 6/18/22
