Has Fetterman's whistle stop tour kicked off yet

Fetterman’s first stops on his “Recreational Marijuana Legalization Listening Tour” are slated for Dauphin and Perry Counties. He will appear Monday, Feb. 11, at the Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg, and Tuesday, Feb. 12, at the Newport Public Library. Additional dates will be released on Friday.

State Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman (R., Centre) vowed he would do “everything in my power to prevent legalization of recreational marijuana.”

“The governor’s new position on the issue of legalizing the drug for recreational use is reckless and irresponsible," Corman said in a statement Wednesday night. “Recreational marijuana is a mind-altering narcotic which will harm our youth, as it is a depressant and a gateway drug to other illegal substances.

“Combine that with a lack of credible research on the societal costs and opposition from prosecutors, the medical community, and law enforcement and you have the makings of a catastrophe,” Corman said.

Bet he has no issue with alcohol.

Maybe you dinguses that vote Republican should send some emails to your local legislators asking them to support legalization.

Obviously I hope that more R's embrace legalization. But I'm hardly a single-issue voter on this topic, sooo

c2i is not a R

You suppose there are any moderates going to these events? You have to think it's probably a series of town halls with a bunch of stoners and then a collection of old curmudgeons. I mean, I support legalization but I'm not wasting my time going to talk to this guy.
