OUTBREAKS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
ANOTHER PUSH FOR POT IN
PENNSYLVANIA.
GOVERNOR TOM WOLF IS CALLING TO
LEGALIZE RECREATIONAL USE OF
CANNABIS.
ROYCE JONES NOW.
Reporter: YEAH.
THE GOVERNOR IS DOUBLING DOWN
ON HIS CALL FOR CANNABIS.
HE BELIEVES THIS COULD PATCH A
HOLE IN PENNSYLVANIA'S BUDGET
CRISIS AND HE IS CALLING ON
LAWMAKERS TO TAKE UP THE
LEGISLATION THAT WOULD LEGALIZE
THE DRUG FOR RECREATIONAL ADULT
USE.
Reporter: WHILE THE PANDEMIC
BURNS THE BUSINESS SECTOR IN
PENNSYLVANIA, THE GOVERNOR
PROSES POT WOULD PROVIDE AN
ECONOMIC HIGH.
NOW MORE THAN EVER,
ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
PANDEMIC, WE HAVE A DESPERATE
NEED FOR THE ECONOMIC BOOST IT
COULD PROVIDE.
Reporter: HE ASSURES IT
WOULD TACKLE CRIMINAL JUSTICE
ISSUES, GENERATION HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS IN REVENUE AND CREATE
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS.
MANY ARE TRAVELING TO OTHER
STATES WHERE ADULT USE IS
LEGAL.
THEY ARE SPENDING THEIR MONEY
THERE.
Reporter: THEY SAY
PENNSYLVANIA IS MISSING OUT ON
A LIFE LINE.
THEY BLAME REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS
FOR MOVING TOO SLOW.
THEY FAILED TIME TO DEBATE
OR PASS.
I WOULD CHALLENGE ANYBODY,
COME UP WITH A BETTER SOLUTION.
Reporter: DEMOCRATS WANT
REPUBLICANS TO ACT NOW.
HE SAID LIKE WITH ANY ISSUE A
BILL WOULD NEED TO WORK ITS WAY
THROUGH THE SENATE COMMITTEE
PROCESS TO BE VETTED.
MOVEMENT ON THIS SHOULD NOT BE
EXPECTED THIS FALL.
Reporter: THE GOVERNOR TOLD
REPORTERS HE HAD ZERO
NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE OTHER
SIDE.
THE SENATE MAJORITY LEADER
