DAs Rap Drug Law Changes
District attorneys from across the state are in Albany today to knock the new changes to the state’s drug laws. They plan to play an audio tape of a accused drug dealer who they say has a 27-page “rap sheet” awaiting trial in a county jail.
In the audio, the prisoner talks about how state lawmakers passed the “Drug Dealer Protection Law” and how the law will protect him and others from going to jail.
What he is referring to is the drug law changes that lawmakers approved that allows judges to sentence low-level drug offenders to treatment programs instead of prison.
Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan is announcing that the state District Attorneys’ Association will form a committee to monitor the new laws.
“I’m hoping to report back that there hasn’t been an increase in crime. I hoping our drug treatment will be as successful as it has been,” Donovan said this morning on Fred Dicker’s radio show. “My fear is that we won’t be able to report that.”
Here’s the edited version of the phone call by the inmate:

I’ve been engaged in taxes for longer then I care to acknowledge, both on the individual side (all my working lifetime!!) and from a legal stand since satisfying the bar and pursuing tax law. I’ve put up a lot of advice and rectified a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you’ve put up makes utter sense. Please continue the good work – the more individuals know the better they’ll be armed to comprehend with the tax man, and that’s what it’s all about.

We’re beginning to hear the first rumblings about the next round of updates to the Nissan GT-R, and if the rumors are to be believed, Nissan’s goal of keeping pace with the refreshed Porsche 911 Turbo (and its S sibling) will continue through the 2012 model year. As with its German counterpart, the R35 is expected to undergo a host of evolutionary changes, including some reworked aero bits, suspension and brake upgrades, and a retuned 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 that’s likely to output over 500 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque.
