The Illinois Senate voted through a proposal to legalize recreational marijuana Wednesday and a central Illinois lawmaker is weighing in.

Senator Chapin Rose feels lawmakers have a 'libertarian' view on the issue and points out the bill has evolved to 'corporatized big pot'. 

The bill allows preference to vendors in the lowest income areas of the state. Senator Rose believes this is going to 'keep poor people stoned'.

Senator Rose questions where society is going with the way the law is written...

Senator Rose points out in Macon County in his district, roughly 500 jobs that pay well with benefits but they cannot find people to work because they cannot get enough people to pass drug tests and he feels the way the bill is written is not going to help solve that problem.
