Pot Lobby Gives To Blue Dogs

Pot Lobby Gives To Blue Dogs

We all know the Blue Dog Democrats love green, as their resistance to health care reform legislation this summer made them favorites of health industry influence peddlers. Now comes word, via the Center for Public Integrity, that the Blue Dogs are not just fond of the paper variety. They received $5,000 from the lobbying arm of Marijuana Policy Project in August. Guess it's a high priority!

Sorry for the lame puns. Let's see if CPI can do better:

"We checked -- the donations were cash, not in-kind contributions."

Zing!

An MPP spokesman told CPI that some of the Blue Dogs are actually "quite good" on pot policy. Go fig.
