Hey, looks like the assembly is going to start that Rockefeller drug law reform
we mentioned yesterday. The
Times reports Sheldon Silver says "the stars are aligned" (translation: the votes are in the bag) for
Bill A06085, which would
restore judges' discretion in sentencing and allow minor drug offenders to get supervised treatment instead of lengthy prison terms. The vote's today and the state senate will conference tonight; if it goes through, Governor Paterson is expected to sign. When that great day comes, we're gonna run out and score a dime bag to celebrate.
