Cops on the Hill: Stories from the week of February 11, 2022
Posted February 21st, 2022 by hiwayhowieMay I take some credit? I had an excellent chat on Feb 1 with an aide to CMan McGovern (D-MA). 2 days later he became a co-sponsor of the Decrim Bill – HR 4020. Coincidence?
Every Little Edge: At Grover yet another candidate for the House made her pitch. She would like to be the first Latina to represent her State. After a brief chat, I gave her my COP business card with a short message in Spanish (apply 10th Amendment to Marijuana) on the back.
FWIW: 9 states have bills introduced Oregon-styled total drug decrim bills.
