We start with the ban on medical marijuana vape products, which is set to lift Tuesday after a court ruling. Plus, we talk about implications of a possible investigation by the U.S. Attorney's office in municipal marijuana contracts.

Plus, we'll dig into the results of local elections across the state. Also, as State Police Colonel Kerry Gilpin retires, what comes next for the agency?

Guests

Susan Tracy, Democratic strategist and president of The Strategy Group. She is currently working with Tobacco Free Kids in support of a flavor ban on nicotine products.
