What about clean air, water

Sun., March 19, 2017

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers released the following statement reported in the S-R (March 3) regarding a proposed federal marijuana bill: “When it comes to debate over marijuana legalization, I think about how a decision will impact the safety of my three kids and their generation. That said, I think more research needs to be done before we change the federal law.”

How about the same safety concern for clean air and water for her three kids and their generation? CMR has a League of Conservation Voters rating of 0 percent for 2016 and a lifetime rating of 3 percent. These dismal ratings raise a real question about her concern for the safety of her three kids and their generation.
