The outgoing U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado says he hopes that business leaders become more engaged on the potential consequences of marijuana legalization in Colorado.
Bob Troyer was named acting U.S. Attorney in Denver.

Bob Troyer, the outgoing U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado, told Denver Business Journal last week that he hopes that business leaders become more engaged on the potential consequences of marijuana legalization in Colorado.
