PATAKI TRIES AGAIN TO EASE TOUGH DRUG LAWS
Governor Wants To Amend One Of The Harshest State Drug Laws In Nation

a rewrite of New York's drug laws, floating a new proposal and putting on a
full-court press by its criminal justice chief.
Talks have intensified over the last three weeks as Gov. George Pataki has
made a push to get changes during this election year, lawmakers said. The
Republican offered a new plan giving judges more leeway in sentencing and
more power to order drug treatment.
