A bill that would legalize medical marijuana is dead for this legislative session. The proposal, backed by Republican Assembly speaker Robin Vos, was not supported by Senate Republicans. Republican state representative Mark Born of Beaver Dam says he is disappointed. “It came to the point where both Houses had different ways they wanted to approach it and there just doesn’t seem to be much interest in negotiating on it and I’m certainly disappointed,” Born told WFDL news. Senate Republicans objected to the state running dispensaries. Democrats who want full legalization also had concerns about how restrictive the proposed program would have been. Vos said he still planned to hold a public hearing later to build support for next session.
