Representative Ray Cox recently placed an entry in his weblog discussing a bill he is working on that would restrict the sale of psuedo-ephedrine by changing it to a Schedule V drug. This means a person could no longer just walk up to a counter and access the drug. This drug is the key in making meth. It can’t be made without it. Oklahoma passed a similar bill a while back and have seen a dramatic reduction in the local production of meth. Ray should be commended for working on this bill. Believe it or not, there is opposition in the retail sector as they don’t want to have to control the drug in this matter. In my opinion it’s a small price to pay to slow down the production of this dangerous drug. Please let your legislators know you feel this is important legislation that needs to be heard this session.
I also appreciate Ray taking a position on proposed legislation that would deny LGA funding to political subdivisions who do not allow police and fire fighters to wear U.S. Flags on their uniforms. In my previous discussion on this topic, I said the proposed legislation is fraught with loopholes that can prove to be disastrous. In my previous posting, I have provided links to the sponsors of the proposed legislation if you would like to voice your opinion.
