Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s decision to put himself on the farm bill conference committee was insurance that one of his policy priorities — and a key issue for his 2020 re-election campaign — would make it to President Donald Trump’s desk this year.
“At a time when farm income is down and growers are struggling, industrial hemp is a bright spot of agriculture’s future,” McConnell said Tuesday morning. “My provision in the farm bill will not only legalize domestic hemp, but it will also allow state departments of agriculture to be responsible for its oversight.”
The Senate then acted quickly, voting 87-13 in the afternoon to adopt the conference report. It now heads to the House, which could pass it as early as Wednesday and then send it to Trump for his signature.

The leaders of the Senate Agriculture Committee, who led the conference negotiations on the bill on behalf of the chamber, praised the efficient passage as senators seek to complete their remaining work for the 116th Congress.
“We are thrilled to report the U.S. Senate has acted to give certainty and predictability to rural America,” Kansas Republican Pat Roberts and Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenow said. “This is the mark of a good bill. We urge our colleagues in the House of Representatives to pass this conference report quickly.”

Michigan Schools Still Zero Tolerance. This is the memorandum release by the Swan Valley School District in Livingston County Michigan.
Memorandum
To: Swan Valley School District (SVSD) Parents
From: Mat McRae, Superintendent
Date: December 6, 2018
RE: Michigan Marijuana Law
Legalization:
Michigan voters approved the legalization of recreational marijuana use on November 6, 2018. That does not mean Michiganders could start using immediately. The board of canvassers must certify the election results and then another ten (10) days must pass before the legalization takes effect. News sources dated 11.19.18 indicate that legalization is effective December 6, 2018, although further restrictions exist—including sale and possession.
Please note, marijuana remains an illegal substances as a Schedule I under the federal Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811). Additionally, local municipalities may further regulate marijuana.

The Michigan Medical Marihuana Act of 2008 remains in effect. The SVSD is not endorsing or providing legal advice about personal use of marijuana.
The new law regulating personal possession and use of marijuana for recreational purposes in Michigan also specifically prohibits possessing marijuana accessories or possessing or consuming marijuana on the grounds of a public school and in a school bus.
Swan Valley School District:
SVSD Board of Education Policy (5350) maintains that marijuana or other THC or CBD substances are illegal substances and/or controlled substances.
The term illegal drug means drugs and controlled substances, the possession or use of which is unlawful, pursuant to Federal, State, and/or local laws and regulations.
As marijuana is still illegal under federal law, it remains an “illegal drug” under district policy and therefore is strictly prohibited in all forms from district facilities and grounds. The SVSD remains a drug, alcohol, and tobacco free zone.
Substances containing marijuana, THC, or CBD will remain prohibited for use, sale, manufacture, or possession on school grounds by staff, parents, or students. This prohibition includes edibles and topical substances, such as oils or lotions. There is no circumstance in which it will be acceptable to possess, use, or be under the influence of marijuana on district property or while attending the district. Possession includes storage in a personal vehicle.

MLIVE- The scent of marijuana, a plant now legal to possess in Michigan, was the probable cause police say they needed to search the vehicle of NBC’s “The Voice” finalist and Ann Arbor native Laith Al-Saadi in February.
The odor allegedly led state police to the discovery of other drugs, fentanyl, hydrocodone and morphine, for which Al-Saadi now faces criminal charges.
At the time, marijuana was only legal in Michigan for medical use.

Otsego County Prosecutor Brendan Curran last week dismissed a fourth criminal charge of marijuana possession against Al-Saadi, he said, based on the November vote by Michiganders to overwhelmingly legalize recreational marijuana.
The case is set for a Jan. 28 trial and a final pretrial status conference is set for Jan. 9 in Otsego County.
“On that date I expect to learn whether defendant will tender a guilty plea or proceed to trial,” Otsego County Prosecutor Brendan P. Curran said. Curran has said he intends to dismiss all pending marijuana cases in his county now that recreational marijuana use and possession is legal.
Al-Saadi’s attorney argued in Otsego County’s Circuit Court during a Dec. 6 motion hearing that his client’s Fourth Amendment right to avoid unreasonable search and seizure was violated when police stopped Al-Saadi in Gaylord about 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 11 for driving with an expired license plate.
Komorn, a marijuana legalization advocate and attorney, said the fact that troopers smelled a substance that, at the time was legal for medical use, shouldn’t have been enough to warrant a search of Al-Saadi’s vehicle.
He says it’s in dispute whether Al-Saadi had a valid medical marijuana patient card at the time of his arrest.
Komorn said he may appeal the judge’s Dec. 6 denial of his motion to suppress evidence of the other drugs in Al-Saadi’s car on the basis that the initial search was illegal.
Komorn says his client, currently under a doctor’s care, in good health and eager to get his legal problems behind him so he can concentrate on his musical career and touring.

Don’t worry – The Government will figure out many ways to make money as they always do.
The amount they give away in lawsuits most likely negates the amount they take in from putting people in jail or forfeiture anyway. Why not remove the lawsuit factor and collect free money…Duh

A retired judge appointed by the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission is hearing the evidence in Livonia. Depending on his findings, the commission could eventually ask the state Supreme Court to discipline Brennan.
Discipline ?!?!?! You mean like shaking your finger at her or having her make amends and pay restitution to the people she harmed or whose lives she destroyed!!!
In a recent 87-page complaint, the JTC said Brennan, among other issues:
Failed to disqualify herself or fully disclose her close personal relationship with a Michigan State Police detective involved in a murder case she presided over in 2013. She also failed to disclose conflicts and disqualify herself in other cases, the JTC said;
Failed to disqualify herself from hearing her own divorce case until six days after she knew the complaint had been filed;
Used improper demeanor in court;
Directed court staff to do personal tasks for her on court time;
Required staff to work on her re-election campaign during work hours;
Made misrepresentations during court hearings and in her contact with the tenure commission;
Committed perjury.
The commission said it plans to add destroying evidence and obstruction of justice to the list of accusations.
But wait there’s more…
Brennan also faces several other legal issues, including a criminal investigation by the state police. Attorney General Bill Schuette has said his office will review the investigation when it’s finished.
Brennan is being sued by Livingston County officials who claim she abused her authority by using court employees “as free labor” to perform personal tasks while being paid by the county.
The judge also is being sued in federal court by District Court Administrator Francine Zysk, who claims Brennan retaliated against her after Zysk testified in Brennan’s divorce proceedings regarding the judge’s “dishonesty, perjury, scandalous behavior, bullying of employees and disruption of court officials.”
Well then she is of course innocent until proven guilty. But did she commit a crime or is she just a you know what? – If it were you… it certainly would be a whole list of charges thrown at you – but with her it’s just called misbehaving so far?
