. >> may name is lance williams i have been using marijuana for about 20 years and i was born in san francisco. i am asking you to table this. i am told that it will take a year or two to get a license so i am behind the curve. i think it's a good idea, and i appreciate that, but i don't gamble and this seems like a huge gamble to myself and a few others. i have been around long enough. i was the first medical marijuana person to win a case. it's a risk and it's a risk that i don't need but i do appreciate the thought. i have been around enough to see some of the first commissions started and they were a failure and that was about four or five years ago, and this one will be a failure too, so if you would please table this, that would be greatly appreciated. i don't see any future coming into fruition anytime soon. >> nina parks, i belong to a group called -- ma disal. medicinal. it seems like the office is having trouble verifies the equity applicants and there is 130 plus that have been verified and everyone is just kind of waiting around to see what is going to happen with this po

by lance the research by william so we you know long and yeah it's there's a little to remarry. it's just like what you said where you are so. you see. it because. you believe. they will be. in dispute. or jump into a new new life or new marriage a game. or. two no no no no i don't know why you assure me that they will jump into marriage you know they might say i don't know what we're talking about stopping them from getting the opportunity to do so with counseling if you want to that's not to say i think what i think we're talking about here is just you know being able to give people options depending on what their circumstances are in life so if a couple is going through some kind of rocky period and they want to seek some kind of counseling ryans as you said there are there are organizations like yours that will offer that but i'm also coming from a place where the marriage is just it's just and be under dempsey and where do you go from there legal separation is not a viable option because it won't allow you to marry again and you're still married on paper can you imagine tha

william and janice bright-- they were in town to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary; 64-year-old leslie dennison-- she's credited with saving her granddaughter; steve smith and his 15-year-old son, lance, from arkansas; and the driver of the boat, 73-year-old bob williams. jim pattison, jr. is president of ripley entertainment. they own the boating company. should that boat have been on the water? >> well, i think yes at the time, with what we knew then when we knew it, it was calm water. >> reporter: but many local boaters are questioning whether the vessel should have been on the water because of the weather. the national weather service issued a severe thunderstorm watch thursday morning. the tour started in the early afternoon. just after 6:30 p.m., a severe thunderstorm warning was issued, alerting people that 60-70 mile per hour wind gusts were possible. the boat was still in the water when the storm hit and sank just 7: foa coleman, who is still recovering, the horror and panic from thursday still haunt her. >> the worst thing you could ever feel. the one thing i remember saying is, if they don't make it, lord, take me, too. there's really no need for me to be here. >> reporter

bob williams, the driver, not the captain of the vessel, 73 years old from branson. from arkansas we had steve smith who was 53 and lance smith who was 15 years old. from illinois, leslie dennison, 64 years old. maybe those heartbreaking in some ways was the large family that so many members were lost as a result of this vehicle being sinking in table rock lake, was angela, 45; belinda 69, irving 76, glen 40, horace 70, and then the coleman children. reece who was 9, evan who was 7, maxwell who was 2 and aria who was only a year old. we mourn their deaths and i do think is a situation where you do feel helpless, on the other hand, i do think there are some steps that we can take so these particular amphibious vehicles are -- are addressed in terms of passenger safety so that there is never again a feeling of helplessness when one of these boats finds themselves in a situation where it's taking on water but the people in the vehicle cannot get out of the vehicle in order to save themselves and can't even avail themselves of lie preservers in a way that would protect them if for any reason they were not capable swimmers.
