Daylin Leach

State Senator Daylin Leach (D, Montgomery County) is intelligent and liberal.  I’ve personally heard him speak, he’s a rare combination of inspiring and funny.

Recently Sen. Leach took a trip to Colorado to see how the marijuana laws were working.  He has been pushing for legalization in Pennsylvania, and he said he wanted to get some first-hand information.  Unfortunately, he took two aides along, the trip cost taxpayers about $5000, and he admitted to sampling some Colorado marijuana.


I cringed.  While $5000 is a pittance in the overall budget, Leach seems to be tone-deaf about the P.R. ramifications of such a trip.  It was a bonehead move, and he should have had more sense.  It’s always annoying when someone on your side does a stupid thing.
