Last month our sister site, MyBallard, wrote that 36th District Rep. Mary Lou Dickerson was planning to file a bill to legalize marijuana. Yesterday Rep. Dickerson and five other state representatives pre-filed HB 2401 for the 2010 Legislative session which begins on January 11.
Next week the 36th District delegation is hosting a holiday open house to present an overview of the upcoming session. Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles and Reps. Mary Lou Dickerson and Reuven Carlyle invite their constituents to come ask questions and voice concerns. The open house is Tuesday, December 15, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Sen. Kohl-Welles’ and Rep. Carlyle’s district office on the base of Queen Anne at 3131 Western Ave, Suite 421, in the Northwest Work Lofts building. Free and pay street parking is available.
