Yes, you did read that headline correctly...
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been very vocal about the issue of decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana of residents in New York. Thousands of people in his city each year are criminalized, disproportionately black and latino, and Cuomo thinks that the "crime" of small possession is outweighed by the constraints and costs of the punishment.
Now Governor Cuomo has come and said point blank, "I would not even consider — even consider a pay raise — unless the people's business was being done in a thorough, responsible way," which referenced his "People's Agenda" and includes the decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana possession and a small pay wage increase for citizens.
