With Vos gone, is there a path to legal marijuana?

Folks claim the Tavern League is the reason for the strict laws, but my understanding is that Vos was blocking legal weed in Wisconsin
I read that even in red districts polls were showing a big majority of citizens wanted it legalized,

There is a new bill being proposed, maybe now it can proceed?

And that's one big reason why I didn't choose to move back to Wisconsin. Hopefully the Vos shadow will dissipate quickly.

No major media in Wisconsin has ever dug deeply into his business operations over the years. Scared and cowardly. Follow the trail as they say.

Posts like the OP trigger cognitive dissonance for western stoners. We keep our stash topped up from one of a dozen dispensaries within fifteen minutes or so of home. Ms K's favorite delivers, and her tips for delivery drivers include a grocery sack of fresh picked citrus this time of year. She knows them all by name. Move west!
