Additional comment from candidate:
Question 10: Since Marijuana is already legal and regulated, this question seems irrelevant. Question 14: I would agree with this IF it were reworded "...consent of both parents OR an increased waiting period..." Question 17: Common Core is not something I'm sufficiently familiar with to render an opinion. Question 21: I'm currently unclear as to the funds the State uses to support marriages of ANY definition.
