The Looney Left Report
It appears that people can't seem to get away from lunatic Democrat liberalism.
Many Californians are moving to and have moved to the state of Idaho to get away from the insane politics and policies by the lunatic leftist liberals in that state.
But there are lunatic Democrats in Idaho and one of them came up with a proposal that is making people in Idaho recoil in fear that their state will be turned into a shithole like California.
Blue Lives Matter reported:
Boise, ID – A Democratic Idaho state lawmaker has introduced a bill seeking to decriminalize drug possession for personal use amounts of fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin.
State Senator Grant Burgoyne’s proposed law change would also allow defendants to enter into chemical dependency treatment under certain circumstances using the same procedure as involuntary mental health commitments, the Marietta Daily Journal reported.
“I have heard from many of my constituents that there are too many people in Idaho prisons,” Burgoyne told the paper. “Idaho has a drug addiction problem, and we cannot arrest our way out of it.”
“To be clear, I am not asking that we legalize drug use, but we should consider decriminalization,” he added. “We need to start treating drug addiction with robust rehabilitation.”
Those who actually work with drug offenders were quick to speak out against the proposed legislation.
In a joint statement, the Idaho Prosecuting Attorneys’ Association, Idaho Chiefs of Police Association, Idaho Fraternal Order of Police, and the Idaho Sheriff’s Association declared that the proposed law change “would be catastrophic to every Idaho community” if it was to be passed, the Marietta Daily Journal reported.
