Governor Jack Markell just did his best impression of Dana Carvey’s impression of the elder President Bush. He said “not gonna do it.” Well, actually he said “not going to happen.” But my way is better, because I can show this clip:
The ‘it’ is the legalization of marijuana while he serves as Governor.
“I’m certainly willing to look at the decriminalization aspect. I am not in support of doing what they’ve done in Colorado or Washington state or a few other places, doing full legalization,” Markell, a Democrat, told WHYY. “It’s not gonna happen while I’m governor. It may be the right thing. But I don’t think we know. I think we need to take a few years and see what the impact has been in some of these other states.”
So I guess that means Rep. Helene Keeley’s HB 39, the Decriminalization Bill, is safe from a veto for now, if it even gets passed.
