Cops on the Hill: Stories from the week of April 29, 2022
Posted May 2nd, 2022 by hiwayhowie
Good Start: I was invited to attend an educational seminar at John Hopkins University in Baltimore on Wednesday. Dr Carl Hart of Harvard was the main attraction (Professor and casual heroin user). I was not on the panel but during Q & A, a student asked for some info about the new Oregon decrim program…No one on the panel knew much…The organizer called on my and I gave the 75-80 attendees 4 minutes of the program and results.
Remembered: Hi Howard, thanks for reaching out. We are down a judiciary staffer and I have met with you multiple times over the years. Connecting you with SJ Matthews from our team. She may be able to meet with you. Best,
Mike
