Last week, a bill to legalize medical marijuana passed by a near party-line vote in the Democrat-controlled Iowa Senate. State Representative Clel Baudler doesn’t think the bill is gonna fly in the Republican-heavy Iowa House. “I would say it’s dead in the House. Probably as dead as it can be.”

Baudler will be our guest Monday on Let’s Talk Guthrie County to talk about the latest news from the State Capitol. It airs during the 9 a.m., noon and 5 p.m hours on K107.9 and www.raccoonvalleyradio.com
