COP on the Hill

Stories from the week of December 25, 2020 & January 1, 2021

Note:  As usual during these two very slow weeks, I send out season’s greeting to some 200 professional acquaintances, many of whom are in the media I have met over the years.

I begin the new year with a real sense of optimism.  The Congress has many loud voices calling for an end to Mass Incarceration, and end to the Drug War and President-elect Biden stated in the last debate he favors treatment vs incarceration for average citizens….Decrim is the logical path forward to achieve those goals.
