Dem. NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that a bill legalizing marijuana — and the revenue anticipated from such a proposal — would not be included in the state's upcoming budget, predicting that the state Legislature would to come to an agreement on pot by June

The move comes as several 2020 Democrats -- including Beto O'Rourke, Sen. Kamala Harris and Sen. Cory Booker -- have voiced support for nationally legalizing marijuana. Recreational marijuana use is legal in 10 states and the District of Columbia, and 34 states have voted to allow medical marijuana use."For us, marijuana is a relatively new issue," Cuomo told WNYC's Brian Lehrer Wednesday.

"It does make a difference on the statewide revenues and it will cost those municipalities, localities that opt out because then they would not get the local share of the revenues. But it's not helpful politically to the passage."Speaking in Albany Tuesday, Cuomo said that he hoped the state legislature would pass a legalization bill by this summer."It was clear early on that the legislative leaders signaled that it was going to be done outside the budget," Cuomo said.

Trump's 'presidential harassers' grow as New York's AG probes deeper into Trump OrgWaPo’s David Fahrenthold, PBS’s Alicia Menendez, The Root’s Jason Johnson, former Chief of Staff to VP Biden and Gore Ron Klain, and MSNBC analyst Elise Jordan on the New York attorney general subpoenaing records of Trump’s bank loans including one he got in an attempt to buy the Buffalo Bills 😂 This is an amazingly successful 'witch hunt.' At some point 'witch hunt' becomes an obvious BS spin. The pathway to collusion may not be clear but the highway to corruption is paved with no exit ramps. Lol I guess she touched a nerve.
