Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale believes legalizing and regulating recreational marijuana could be an antidote to the state’s budget woes.
“The longer we wait, the more other states are going to beat us to the punch,” he told the Tribune-Review on Thursday. “I know it will take a couple years, but the longer we wait the more revenue we lose.”
DePasquale said he has spoken publicly about this issue in the past.
