Liz Krueger is a democrats that has been representing Manhattan for the past decade. Krueger said at a campaign rally for Attorney General Eric Schneiderman that,
“I will push for taxation and regulation of marijuana, I continue to work with experts around the country and to evaluate laws and regulations being put into place now.”
She introduced the bill last year but was unlikely to pass in a Republican ruled state that hadn’t even legalized Medical Marijuana. However in June, New York state legalized Medical Marijuana, however only in some cases.
Looking back at her last attempt Krueger said,
“I knew we needed to move medical marijuana into law before people would focus on the bigger question – tax and regulation,” she said. “So I think my legislative proposal fits in very nicely with what the state has already committed to move forward with.”
The bill is aimed to be passed in 2015.
