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.
