With millions of dollars in potential tax revenue on the line, and multi-billion dollar hole in the states finances, Gov. Tom Wolf on Thursday upped the pressure on the Republican-controlled General Assembly to legalize recreational cannabis.
Now, more than ever, especially right in the middle of this pandemic, we have a desperate need for the economic boost that cannabis can provide, Wolf said during a news conference at the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agencys headquarters in suburban Harrisburg.
The Legislature has failed to find the time, to move a trio of legalization bills out of committee and to hold votes, Wolf said Thursday. This is something that affects millions of Pennsylvanians. And it can provide revenue at a time when we desperately need revenue.
