Americans for Safe Access vs. DEA heading to Appeals Court – Oral arguments to be heard by the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on October 16. Expect me to post about it, as this case is kind of a big deal for medical marijuana on the federal level.
Activists want Yale St. Bridge shut down; say it’s dangerous – The Yale St. bridge in Houston serves a lot of traffic everyday, and it’s not designed to. The city doesn’t plan to rebuild it until 2016. Is public safety just not a priority when it comes to infrastructure in Houston?
U.S. Move to Give Egypt $450 Million in Aid Meets Resistance – It always baffles me how much money we give to foreign countries when we can’t get Congress to approve additional spending for domestic projects. This resistance is only because we don’t trust the Muslim Brotherhood, not because Congress cares about putting more money into America.
