How New York Marijuana Legalization Efforts Could Be Impacted By Cuomo’s Scandals
While the governor has pushed the legislature to pass his measure as part of a budget plan, he’s faced pushback from certain members who feel it doesn’t go far enough to promote social equity and that they should advance their own version first before entering into negotiations with the administration.
Governor Cuomo has in recent weeks come under fire first for the homicidal placement of the states elderly into facilities that were known to be covid compromised and then a flood gate of accusations perhaps purposefully opened to distract the people from all that preventable death.
Critics are raising concerns that these instances of his lack of integrity, collectively are enough to hurt the movement for legalization the governor was meant to argue for with opponents of the law Liz Krueger (D) and Crystal Peoples-Stokes (D).
