Gov. Larry Hogan vetoed a bill this week that would have decriminalized certain drug paraphernalia, including needles and syringes.
In his veto letter, the Republican governor called the bill dangerous, saying it would do nothing to remove drug dealers from our streets or reduce opioid-related fatalities.
Democrats and advocates for the bill quickly expressed frustration with the veto.
Sen. Jill P. Carter, a Baltimore Democrat who sponsored the legislation, pledged on Twitter to override Hogan s veto. Democrats hold veto-proof majorities in both houses of the General Assembly.
The legislation would have removed hypodermic syringes, needles and other items used to administer drugs via injection from the state s definition of controlled paraphernalia.
