Legislature races to the finish line, with gambling special session next up House GOP comes to Orlando for post-Trump planning Sheriff backs away from anti-riot law
Presented by the Coalition for Affordable Prescription Drugs
Hello and welcome to Monday.
Ticking away the moments So here we are yet again 55 days of the annual Florida Legislature session gone and just five days of wall-to-wall action left.
Different from the rest It’s been an extremely odd session by all accounts as the Capitol has remain largely closed and a fair amount of deal-making was probably done in nearby restaurants and bars rather than the nearly-silent halls.
Weed coverage. Like, more weed coverage.
We ve been covering marijuana, literally for decades. The culture. The consumers. The market. The destructive government policies. The brutally uneven
imprisonment.
We have written about marijuana from just about every angle imaginable. And now, with legalization finally turning a corner, we re launching a dedicated section called Reeferfront Times (most jokes will be better, promise) in the paper and online. We are kicking it off this week with a special weed issue. It s always worth tracking down a hard copy, but we ve got you covered right here with a collection of interviews, essays and reports.
The St. Louis County Board of Police Commissioners bungling doesn t get enough attention.
The best defense for beleaguered St. Louis County Police Chief Mary Barton is that she had nothing to do with hiring Police Chief Mary Barton.
On the job for slightly more than ten months, Barton’s tenure can charitably be described as a no-good, dirty-rotten experience for all concerned. But it’s the St. Louis County Board of Police Commissioners not Barton that owns the curious decision to miscast her in a role for which she’s so obviously ill suited.
Last spring, the board inexplicably passed over an obviously more qualified candidate in Lt. Col. Troy Doyle, widely viewed within the department (and on the outside) as the likely successor to retiring Chief Jon Belmar. Doyle is suing the county for race discrimination over having been snubbed for a white candidate with less rank and experience in Barton.
