Missoula Independent, Jun 3 2010: (In response to the question; One of the
most contentious issues heading into the 2011 legislative session is
medical marijuana. Do you believe the law should be amended? How?) "I do
believe the law should be amended. I don't want to take a politician's view
on this, but I know Rep. Diane Sands, D-Missoula, has been heading up a
committee that's been looking at this. I trust that committee will come out
with some great ideas. I hope those ideas include allowing cities and
counties to zone where those businesses go. As a high school teacher, I'm
just not going to move forward with any legalization...I also don't think
you should smoke marijuana in public. Let me add that, I'm fairly sure that
no matter what we do, some constituents will not be happy. As I've knocked
on doors, opinions on this issue have covered the whole spectrum."
