Cops on the Hill

Stories from the Week of March 5, 2021

Finally happened to me: on a fairly regular basis I will hear an assistant say so much in my direction, I will say to him/her,” you are making my heart sing.”

‘Allison’ finally turned the tables this week (first time in 5,000 presentations),, when she said that about me.  I was pointing out the advantages of ending drug decrim.  When I mentioned the huge impact it has on Voter Suppression, she got all excited (like I do from time to time) and blurted, “you are making my heart sing!”  Small steps.
