Week 4

This week I thought a lot about what I wanted my legislative article to look like. I think it is really important for me to reach out to Heath VanNatter and Karen Tallian. I am very interested in their motives to push the legalization of marijuana and I think this push could be the main purpose of the article. My next steps are to reach out to them and try to interview them.

I also thought a lot about the statistics I would use in the article. In this story we could have the basic statistics of what the neighboring states are doing as far as legalization. Another point Virginia brought up is a graphic of a map that shows which states have medical versus non medical legalization.

I continued researching about the topics and began to narrow down the statistics that I actually would use. Lastly, I began to write a list of questions of what statistics I would like from Purdue/West Lafayette police and also what I would like to ask my interviewees.
