Local Legislator Fighting Attempts to Legalize Marijuana in Idaho

The Republican is introducing a resolution seeking enforcement of federal drug laws

A Republican state senator has introduced legislation to oppose legalizing marijuana in Idaho, a move that could put the kibosh on local efforts pushing for the state to follow Washington and Colorado.

Sen. Chuck Winder, R-Boise, brought forward two pieces of legislation that were scheduled to be heard before the Senate State Affairs Committee today, Feb. 20, at 8 a.m.  Public testimony will be taken, though testimony may be limited to three minutes per person depending on the number of people who sign up to testify.
