Lesser, 33, is serving his fifth term in the 100th House District, and said Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's announcement last week that he will not seek another term has a lot
of legislators thinking ahead to the
next term and what the priorities
of the party should be.
The fact that parts
of this act were already ruled unconstitutional by a NY judge, with more still being appealed shows how much real
thought was put into it; within the first few weeks
of passing this debacle almost all police, armed guards etc. were violating the law because the
legislators in their infinite wisdom forgot to exempt law enforcement, not to mention all the people who went to bed and then the
next day — due to the fly - by - night method
of governing — people woke up breaking the law without having done anything.
«There are lots
of people affected by this, and I
think (
legislators) will be smarter
next time and will solicit input from the industry and give industry time to comment and make changes,» he says.
