Savino, Silver spar over medical marijuana bill

Despite trading blows over a legalized medical marijuana bill, the Senate sponsor of the legislation and speaker of the Assembly say the Compassionate Care Act may still become law this session.

Support for medical marijuana grew this session, including the governor including a medicinal marijuana pilot program in his Executive Budget; the Senate conducting its first public hearing on the legislation and the Assembly including the Compassionate Care Act in its one-house budget proposal. Advocates were hopeful the house's inclusion would force state leaders to discuss and implement a medical marijuana system, but New York adopted its fourth on-time budget without such legislation.

Not quite as bad as dialup, but not a lot better either.

Sometimes it takes a while for a site to load, & then I find out it wasn't of much interest to me.
