I wrote it and i will be happy to field your questions. It is great to have something to refer to give in the corporate takeover and id like to begin with we did not have so much time and that you try to control the people who are supplying the commodity of the supply and demand. And we dont spend enough time on these resources on the demandside strategy. I am actually hoping young people make healthy choices and we are talking about minimizing the harms of marijuana and what we need it to be about with this initiation. Because that is what we need to do. If we can protect children and help them make smarter decisions, we want to do that. That is a major battle. Once children get to be 21, 25 years old, preferably in age, the risks are diminished demonstrably. So in this powerpoint, most of us would agree, we do have some questions. First, what are the egg increases in heavy use. We have to consider the factors. Alcohol use has actually fallen since 1970. And its then that in the absen
And we begin with breaking news, the u. S. Air force reports one of its helicopters have crashed in the united kingdom. There are reports of four people killed. The helicopter went down during a Training Mission on the east coast of great britain. Local police have cordoned off a quarter mile area around the scene, which is near an u. S. Air base. More on this story coming up. Well try to reach phil ittner for the very latest. The deep freeze has turned deadly, 11 people have died. People who have had to go outside today did everything they could, well, everything they could think of to stay warm, including lots of layers. A lot of people have been stranded by the cold as flights have been canceled, cars and trains have gotten stuck. Jonathan betz is live for us now at New York Penn station. Jonathan, boy, how is this deep freeze impacting travel for people across the country . Yeah, a lot of people impacted, tony. Frankly, frozen in their tracks, whether at train stations or airports
Something about this during that week of the implementation. Let me finish the fact of the matter is that a mention of a traffic problem would not have registered in a memorable and meaningful way. There are traffic robbins and issues all the time at the bridges and tunnels. That would not be a significant event, memorable event. It is also telling that in , itng that representation is an admission that David Wildenstein has no evidence because he has produced none and his lawyer did not represent such that the governor knew anything about this bridge lane realignment before it was implemented. Because he didnt. Suggesting that the Governors Office appoint an officer responsible for overseeing this. Are you suggesting that the governor would be responsible . The governor is the head of the Governors Office so the governor is being requested his office is being requested but he is ultimately he ultimately runs that office to appoint an ombudsman, senior a soundingo be board, resource an
We want to hear from you on this topic. If you live in the east and central time zone and have an opinion on whether or not College Athletes should unionize. You can also contact us via social media. Should College Athletes be able to unionize . Joining us now on the phone is dave jamison of the huffington post. How did this issue get started . The way this got started was they said they wanted a Union Election. The National Labor relations oversees jobs in the private sector in the u. S. They had a hearing. It was to determine whether or not these players were actually employees and whether they would be eligible to have a union vote. This is basically standard procedure for any officer factor in the u. S. It is very unusual, because these are College Football players, but the regional director at the hearing and issued his determination. He believes that the layers are employees of the university. Host how is it that a regional director of the nlrb can make that decision . That is ho
Morning, folks. Welcome. Have a seat, please. We are here today to talk about how to not make a hash out of Marijuana Legalization. I promise you that is the last pun you will hear from me on this subject. It is very important subject. I am just going to say a few words to set this up. We probably have a great diversity of poins in this room about the future of marijuana in the state. It is no longer a question of whether marijuana is going to be legal in many parts of the United States it is a question of how it is going to be regulated, taxed, and controlled, if at all. So today we have a great panel of folks who have come from literally all pants of the co y continent on ways to go forward in regulating marijuana. And i think without further ado, i will introduce paul glastris, editor of Washington Monthly who will introduce the west of the panel. So thank you very much. Rest thank you joinning me. I am grateful to phillip longman. And i want to thank the new America Foundation for
