PROVIDENCE -- Working late into the night, weary lawmakers slogged on
toward adjournment yesterday, battling over whether to institute new
controls on prostitution and wine sales, confirming a new director of
the state Department of Environmental Management and holding a Senate
vote to override Governor Carcieri's veto of medical marijuana
legislation.

In voting 28 to 6 in favor of the override, senators rejected
objections of Senate Minority Leader Dennis L. Algiere, R-Westerly,
who said that while the governor supports "effective pain management
techniques," marijuana is "an addictive drug" and the override would
mean that "nearly anyone" in the state could grow the plant.

There's such a HUGE disconnect between the People and the feds...

That can only be a good thing.

Yes, and we can only pray that some day, when they least expect it, they'll slap their foreheads and go, "Gee, what was I thinkin'"!
