THE BILL IS DEAD!!!
Good news, it looks like we have won for now!
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - A move to overhaul the state's medical marijuana system is likely dead in the Legislature this year after negotiations got bogged down over a push by House Republicans to divert a share of potential tax revenue from the state's new recreational system to cities and counties.
Sen. Ann Rivers, a Republican from La Center who sponsored Senate Bill 5887, said Thursday that the bill was doomed by "immovable positions" on that issue.
