Gassman talks education, budget shortfall and medical cannabis with local constituents

State Representative Tedd Gassman of Scarville was in Buffalo Center on Friday, March 24 to talk with constituents in his final local public forum of the 2017 legislative session. Topics for the day ranged from education and collective bargaining to the state budget shortfall and medical cannabis.
