Any bill that legalizes marijuana, but the legislation has a backing of a key group, and joining us to talk about it is state senator nicolas cutarri. we know the argument about the tax revenue, we know the number of people, for example, prosecuted for pot possession, often minorities as opposed to white, but with your legislation and your bill, you have new momentum in that a major group is supporting you, prosecutors are behind you. that s a first. it s a first of its kind, certainly in new jersey. the new jersey state municipal prosecutors association voted in favor of the bill and i think they ve taken a reasoned approach as to why it should be legalized. and you re a member of the municipal prosecutors association, but that doesn t mean they had to side with you. to the point that some did not and a couple of members abstained from voting, others were unhappy, but the majority went your way here. that s correct, and i think it s a major step in the right
