Cops on the Hill

Stories from the week of June 4, 2021

Back in the Saddle:

I eased back into presentations, making five, sadly not more..the last half of the Congress has always been more difficult, as the primarily Republican offices just won’t take a meeting.  I am much like a bill collector; keeping bugging them politely.

The only bright spot was a long chat with the Legislative Director with a major, Republican player for the marijuana issue in the House.  The LD indicated that once the MJ issue is resolved, that office would look seriously at a decrim bill a la Oregon.
