New York State lawmakers say they have a deal to legalize the adult use of marijuana. Melissa Moore, NYS Director of the Drug Policy Alliance, provides an overview of what has been agreed to with WOOC's Mark Dunlea. And, On March 24, a group assembled in the Albany State Capital Concord to demand $3.5 billion to be included in the NY State Budget to support workers excluded from previous COVID-19 financial relief packages. Many in attendance had been fasting since last week to underscore the dire need for this financial support. Many were from Columbia County including the Reverend Kathryn Beilke, from Hudson First Presbyterian Church, and members of the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement. Sina Basila Hickey reports from WOOC.
