Dear Neighbors,
Rep. Tom Murphy, Senator Jordan Rasmussen, and myself are hosting a town hall on Sunday, March 19th in Dalton to discuss efforts in St. Paul to legalize cannabis.
This is a great opportunity for you to come out and share your thoughts, questions, and concerns on this topic. We will be joined by Otter Tail County Sheriff, Barry Fitzgibbons, and public health director Jody Lien.
The event is set to begin at 1:00 PM at the Dalton Community Center.
