Marijuana and Employment Rights - Hearsay Radio Interview Video

Attorneys Kimberlie Ryan and Holli Hartman presented a Point/Counterpoint interview on Law Week Colorado's Hearsay Radio about Colorado Amendment 64 rights and workplace issues.  Kim primarily represents workers, and Holli represents employers.  They both were appointed by the Governor’s office to serve on the AMENDMENT 64 IMPLEMENTATION TASK FORCE’S TAX FUNDING CIVIL LAW WORK GROUP based on their expertise and experience as employment lawyers.
