Nassau County Says No to Pot
Laura Curran talks about why she's recommending Nassau County opt out of legal pot sales, if New York State were to legalize recreational marijuana.
@BrianLehrer I also CONGRATULATE Supervisor Curran for having the courage to correct the previously unfair Nassau County system for assessing property for taxes.

costs of it being illegal are far greater than costs of well run legal program.
if elected officials get their act together, they would be able to make legalization a win for law abiding citizens.
Like Nikhil I’m a constituent who came out & helped Laura Curran get elected. I phone banked & delivered lawn signs. I completely disagree with the opt out @NassauExecutive is so staunchly pushing. She has her own agenda. I regret helping her get the power she now has.
