YAKIMA, Wash.-- The Washington Liquor Control
Board is looking for feedback on the new marijuana law enacted last year.
They've held forums all over the state, and
now one is happening in Yakima this Thursday.
It's the second-to-last forum the board
planned to help them listen to citizen's concerns about Initiative 502.
The crowd at the Spokane meeting two
weeks ago was supportive of the law, but concerned about the possibility of
bureaucratic red tape clogging up distribution.
The board actually had to push the Yakima
meeting back a week.
That's because the previous marijuana
meetings drew many more people than expected, so they needed to find a bigger
venue.
The Yakima event will now be in the Yakima
Convention Center on Thursday. It's happening at 6 pm.
This is an open public meeting so you
don't need to register. There's one final meeting after the Yakima event, that's
happening at the Kitsap Conference Center in Bremerton on March 7th.
