The bottom line is straightforward for me: What is best for public safety? For this governor and this Legislature to have public safety keep taking a back seat to ideology (or, even worse, political gain), is wrong, it’s irresponsible, it’s dangerous, and it puts all of us at risk.
Senator O'Mara offers his weekly perspective on many of the key challenges and issues facing the Legislature, as well as on legislative actions, local initiatives, state programs and policies, and more. Stop back every Monday for Senator O'Mara's latest column "From the Capitol..."
This week, "Law and order cannot take a back seat"
