From state rep. Mary Margaret Oliver: March 13, 2012 Session Completes Day 32!  This is Mary Margaret Oliver’s fifth email newsletter for the 2012 General Assembly Session which convened January 9, 2011, and has completed 32 days of the 40 day Session.   In each newsletter, I ask how you would vote on a pending bill or budget item. I am very grateful for your thoughtful responses and I personally read all your answers. Thank you for your interest and opinions!

Fifth newsletter question: In the Governor's Criminal Justice Reform Commission's Report and recommendations, and in HB 1176 that is the bill to create the reforms, mere possession of an illegal drug shall be presumed to be an offense penalized with probation and not time in jail.  At present, 3200 prisoners in the state prisons are incarcerated for possession of drugs alone, with no other offense charged.
