Week-In-Review Podcast: Medical Marijuana, Election Lawsuits, Senate Debate & Tobacco Money

KUAR Week-In-Review Podcast.
Michael Hibblen

Leading KUAR's Week-In-Review Podcast is the debate heating up over medical marijuana in Arkansas, with Gov. Asa Hutchinson and medical professionals voicing their opposition, advocates responding, and court filings challenging the items that the Secretary of State's office has approved for the November election ballot.

The news team also discusses lawsuits over election proposals, a debate which didn't include incumbent Sen. John Boozman, Rep. Bruce Westerman on his bill advancing that would revamp U.S. Forrestry practices and Gov. Hutchinson's plan to shift some tobacco settlement funds to help the developmentally disabled.
