Yesterday, Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale called for the state to legalize marijuana, claiming it would “generate hundreds of millions of dollars each year that could help tackle Pennsylvania’s budget problems.”
Today, Governor Tom Wolf pretty much squashed that idea.
According to CBS, Wolf spoke on Pittsburgh’s KDKA station this morning, asserting that marijuana legalization is “not going to help” the state’s $3 billion budget deficit, despite DePasquale’s recent report on the effects of regulated marijuana industries in other states.
