Citing concerns about worker safety, Massachusetts retailers on Wednesday declared their opposition to legalizing adult use of marijuana.
"The Retailers Association believes the legalization of the marijuana industry in Massachusetts is the wrong path for businesses and our communities," Retailers Association of Massachusetts President Jon Hurst said in a late afternoon statement. "The increased accessibility of marijuana will negatively impact worker safety and productivity in many companies across the state. Retailers also have a major stake in promoting safe, healthy communities, and the introduction of the marijuana industry runs counter to that goal."
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Bernie Sanders needs to recognize that "sometimes you just have to give up," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday.
Reid said his fellow senator should not carry his presidential campaign through to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, as he intends to do.
