NH Rep Steve Vaillancourt Speaks to a Reporter About Marijuana

Here is an interview between a reporter for the Concord Monitor and NH House Rep Steve Vaillancourt.  Steve is discussing decriminalizing marijuana.  It was recorded on a tablet so the audio is hard to hear in placescan’t be helped. (I’ll try to export this to audio and enhance it-will repost it as an MP3 if that works.)

Steve addresses a number of objections to the bill and goes on to point out that Susan Almy, the chair of the Ways and Means Committee, doesn’t want to hold a public hearing on HB 492 because she doesn’t want to listen to people talk about the marijuana issue while they are only dealing with the tax portion.

From a Rep about the committee business…” The situation stinks and likely won’t be resolved without someone complaining. Expect that someone to be Vaillancourt

Update- can’t do much with the audio.  It does get better a few minutes in.
