Auditor General DePasquale Challenges 11th Congressional District Candidate to Debate Benefits of Marijuana Legalization
HARRISBURG (Jan. 31, 2018) – Auditor General Eugene DePasquale today challenged 11th Congressional District candidate Joe Peters to a debate over the benefits over the regulation and taxation of marijuana:
“Joe Peters, one of the candidates for Pennsylvania’s 11th Congressional District, thinks my outspoken support for the legalization of marijuana is the ‘wrong message at the wrong time.’
“I respectfully disagree with Mr. Peters. I strongly believe that marijuana legalization has potential positive impacts for Pennsylvania’s fiscal situation. It also offers human benefits such as reducing the loss of income and other social, personal and emotional impacts on those arrested for simply possessing a small amount of marijuana.
“So Joe Peters, game on: I have already lined up Penn State Harrisburg as a possible location for the debate on Thursday, Feb. 15. What do you say?”
