Freshman Chris Girdler of Pulaski County, lives in the home district of U.S. Representative Hal Rogers. Rogers is against the bill because his efforts to rid his fifth congressional district of illegal and prescription drug abuse might compromise federal dollars for that cause if hemp is allowed. During the roll call vote, Girdler became the first to vote 'no' after characterizing hemp as a distracting non-issue amid more worrisome woes.
