Religious leaders headed to the state Capitol Monday to warn lawmakers about legalizing marijuana sales in Connecticut.
This year, Connecticut could finally green light marijuana sales. Gov. Ned Lamont says it s time. This has been a long time coming. We ve been talking about this for ages, he says.
Faith leaders say the lure of easy money and easy jobs are empty promises. This is just a terrible idea for the state of Connecticut, says Pastor Abraham Hernandez, of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference.
