New
Mexico
Update
7/2/99
Last week, DRCNet reported
that New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, a Republican, had called for a dialogue
on drug policy, including a consideration of legalization (http://www.drcnet.org/wol/096.html#governorspeaks).
The Albuquerque Journal reported
yesterday (7/1) that Governor Johnson had told a Rotary Club meeting that
e-mail to his office has been running 10-1 in favor of his suggestion.
According to Steve Bunch, president of the New Mexico Drug Policy Foundation,
KOAT TV7, the ABC affiliate, ran a story on the 6 pm news reporting on
the Governor's drug policy e-mail, and has been reporting regularly about
the Governor's call for discussions on the drug war and possible alternatives.
