The first of the two bills now headed to the governor’s desk, HB 2355, decriminalizes possession of the drugs so long as the offender has neither a felony nor more than two prior drug convictions on record, according to the Lund Report. The second, HB 3078, reduces drug-related property crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. Continue reading “Oregon Poised To Decriminalize Meth, Cocaine And Heroin”
Gov. Doug Ducey has asked the EPA to revise federal rules to give states the power to decide which streams will be protected as “Waters of the U.S.”
That power can have huge impacts over how strictly development along those streams is regulated, such as subdivisions and mines whose construction requires dredging and filling of water bodies.
In a letter to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, Ducey also argues that ephemeral streams and washes — those that carry water only after storms — shouldn’t be protected under that rule. Those are the overwhelming majority of watercourses in Arizona and Pima County.

Along the way, federal agents encountered rifles powerful enough to take down a helicopter, two phony home invasions, dozens of fraudulent gun sale records, and a former Tucson police officer accused of stealing the identities of people he arrested as part of a scheme to smuggle guns across the border.

While this treaty may not “bite,” look at the peace negotiations taking place in the world. We have Russia, China and the US all working together to fight terrorism and now to “stop” North Korea. In our Signs and Seasons article from 2015 we documented how world leaders called on all to help stop terrorism which is the common enemy of mankind.

The unmarked vehicles arrived in the morning. More than 20 armed agents poured out.
Hours later, Mii’s Bridal & Tuxedo was out of business after serving customers for decades. Its entire inventory of wedding gowns and dresses as well as sewing machines and other equipment were sold at auction.
