Here in KY we have a major State Employee Pension Fund shortage - a whopping $27 BILLION shortfall as of this year. Regardless of how unacceptable this is (and it is sooo unacceptable) considering they've known this would be the case for years and years and have done nothing about it, I wonder how our legislatures can't see the benefits of marijuana legalization. To me, legalization seems like the perfect way out. Not to mention the amount of $ which could be diverted to our all-but-failing state educational system. But nope, this is the good 'ol boys club here in KY, and I'm not sure if they think they are protecting the bourbon industry here or what, but whatever their incentive for not passing legalization, I assure you it is a decision based on greed and monetary control.
