Cops on the Hill

Stories from the week of June11, 2021

Just happened an hour ago on June 15….two House Members introduced a federal, drug decrim bill a la Oregon…this is what I have been pushing for since last September…Freaking Yeah!!!!

 Bright Spot: the only nice event was scheduling a meeting for next Thursday, the 17^th and 50 anniversary of the Drug War where I will go to the House Rayburn building for an in-the-office meeting since Covid.  Bonus and highly unusual, the Member’s Chief of Staff will sit in.

Note: a staffer can fetch me at security, receive a little badge and then go up to the office.  Most offices still don’t want to do this.
