New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy happy lawmakers trying 'one more run' at legalizing marijuana in 2019
"We'll make one more run at it," Sweeney told NJ.com about state lawmakers' renewed desire to legalize marijuana before the year is out.
The belief, in mid-May, was that lawmakers would put the legalization effort on hold until 2020, when they would turn the question over to New Jersey's voters with a ballot referendum.
But Sweeney said this week that he believes agreement on language in the bill between himself, Murphy, and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin (D-Middlesex) could be enough to push it through, according to NJ.com.
