Late in 2015, Bluestem wrote in Ingebrigtsen update: grumpy cat is still grumpy about medical cannabis & intractable pain:
If there's one unwavering thing in Minnesota politics, it's Alexandria Republican Senator Bill Ingebrigtsen's opposition to anything related to the cannabis plant. Since joining the state senate, the former Douglas County Sheriff consistently has opposed legalizing medical marijuana and growing industrial hemp.
That deep hostility to the weed with roots in hell was illustrated at a recent town hall, Frances Stevenson of the Fergus Falls Daily Journal reports in Town hall meeting: Ingebrigtsen, Nornes speak in Fergus Falls:
The retired sheriff turned lawmaker is also freaked out about Keith Ellison becoming Minnesota Attorney General and Walz's opinion of sanctuary cities. Go read the whole hot mess at the Fergus Falls Daily Journal.
