Good Friday morning!
You’re finally on your way to being able to legally buy weed without a qualifying medical condition. Gov. Murphy yesterday formally appointed the Cannabis Regulatory Commission, which starts the clock on a six-month deadline to come up with rules and regulations for the recreational weed marketplace.

Good Monday morning!
It appears that Democrats realize that not allowing police to give written notice
to parents the first time they catch their kids smoking weed or drinking alcohol is a potent issue Republicans could use against them this fall.
A Democratic-backed bill to clarify that cops can inform parents was introduced last week and appears to be on the fast track. It’s a clean-up bill of the last marijuana clean-up bill.
The first clean up bill was a way to get Gov. Phil Murphy to sign weed legalization while assuaging concerns from the Legislative Black Caucus. But now the leader of that caucus, Sen. Ron Rice, is OK with allowing parental notification. So how did the original clean-up bill end up including language that barred parental notification? I don’t know.

Good Thursday morning!
Across the Hudson, Democrats who control the Legislature have a plan to strip Gov. Andrew Cuomo of his emergency pandemic powers even if there’s debate over how much it actually does.

Good Friday morning!
Lately, we’ve seen efforts by public bodies to clamp down on public comment. In December, the Rutgers Board of Governors voted to limit the number of speakers to 12 and give them two minutes each. On Monday, the Hudson County Board of Commissioners passed the first draft of an ordinance limiting total public comment time to two hours, after listening to nine hours of opposition to renewing their jail contract with ICE.
