It will be interesting to see what they do with this surplus! Reduce fees? (Doubt it) More money to LEO?($3,000,000+)

How about making the process easier.  What other program still works strictly by snail mail?

LARA,

 

Fix the gliches. Write yourself a program that reminds you when you haven't sent a patient something in the 21 day administrative period. Checks and balances people. It's not a new concept.

 

ERROR PROOF IT.

[Restorium2]

There should be a parallel process with registration where every application is tracked and it's progress is checked by a separate watchdog entity. I'm sorry LARA, but you have dropped the ball enough times now, for years, that the responsibility for a timely application process has to be checked by someone else because you have shown either a serious incompetence OR a lack of caring to get it done right.

While $23,000,000 sounds like a lot of money, it represents something like .04% (four-ten-thousandths) of the state's annual expenditures and barely enough to pay for Rick Jones and staff salary, benefits and perks.

 

Kinda weird actually when you think about it. The Democrat's policies seem determined to create as many customers as possible for the Republican arrest and punishment industry.

I would like to see it used to study the issues. Impaired driving for instance. How about medical research grants? How about they just keep it and decriminalize altogether, letting any adult grow and use it?
