Colorado Dems Vote To Allow EBT Cards To Be allowed To Access Cash At ATM's In Pot Shops

I have no idea why this surprises me.<br /><br />Actually, I have no idea why this even needed to be voted on, it should be a No Brainer.<br /><br />I guess that explains how it got passed in the first place now that I think about it.<br /><br />What a crop of absolute idiots that got into office in that state.<br /><br /><br /><blockquote><a href="http://www.fox21news.com/news/story.aspx?id=994773#.Ute3R7Q9o3w"><b>Colorado won't ban public assistance at pot shops </b></a></blockquote><br /><blockquote>DENVER (AP) -- Colorado won't ban the use of public assistance at marijuana-shop ATMs, despite calls from both Republicans and the pot industry to ban it.<br /><br />A Colorado Senate committee voted 3-2 Wednesday to reject the GOP proposal to add marijuana shops to the list of places where recipients of public assistance can't use their government-issued EBT cards to access cash. The list already includes casinos, liquor stores and gun shops.<br /><br />Marijuana industry lobbyists argued for the bill, saying there's no evidence people on public benefits are using pot-shop ATMs and that the prohibition would assure the public that disability benefits or other entitlements aren't being used on pot.<br /><br />Democrats on the committee all voted against the idea. They said people in poor neighborhoods already have difficulty accessing ATMs and that the bill isn't needed.</blockquote><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdV4mQqazeMR9rHfcCB-pwNux0KKFPt4kSELzlbmQI5uNuSCZR5-3aK-HH3P6XS56vUXg7FG4KB58LmHc6zfNldjZdKXUPa98t-1k_ptznGMdjqxhqnr_PT5nO71nNgwynCNTJaknJW7uX/s1600/Banging-head-on-desk.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdV4mQqazeMR9rHfcCB-pwNux0KKFPt4kSELzlbmQI5uNuSCZR5-3aK-HH3P6XS56vUXg7FG4KB58LmHc6zfNldjZdKXUPa98t-1k_ptznGMdjqxhqnr_PT5nO71nNgwynCNTJaknJW7uX/s640/Banging-head-on-desk.gif" /></a></div><br /><br />Link found at <a href="http://www.fark.com/">FARK</a>.
