County Republicans oppose marijuana permits

To The Eagle:

At the March 21 county commissioners’ meeting, two retail/medical marijuana license applications were approved by a 2 to 1 vote. Approving the applications were Blair Brady and Mike Backman. Opposing the applications was Dan Cothren.

The Wahkiakum County Republican Party stands united behind Dan on this issue. Our party feels we do not need more drug exposure, especially for our youth. We feel these applications are only a stepping stone to future problems. By allowing these, we are telling our children and society drug use is O.K. Well, it’s not!
