COP on the Hill – Stories from the week of June 6, 2025

COP on the Hill – Stories from the week of June 6, 2025

Bit of a disappointment: I attended the annual Energy Conference (Gas-Oil).  In the past I was able to meet with several Members and a half dozen Chiefs of Staff. This year only on Chief and one Member.

More of a disappointment; The White House announced this week that the Trump administration would Not move marijuana in a positive direction.  Given his vote for legalizing in Florida, we had a small expectation…Shucks.

I am proud that COP was able to have a solid contact with the WH and the staffers considered the ideas.
