Requiring mandatory ignition interlock devices to be placed on all vehicles of 1st time drunk driving offenders for the duration of their sentence. My 13 year old daughter was killed by a multiple repeat drunk driving offender at 3:00 in the afternoon when getting off of her school bus. Right now judges may require an ignition interlock device but are not required to do so. The average person caught driving while intoxicated the first time has actually driven 86 times while intoxicated. An ignition interlock device installed on the vehicle would help to discourage repeating the offense until the person changes their behavior voluntarily.

Most of Connecticut was devastated by devastating events in Sandy Hook and Newtown, CT, but are we making decisions out of devastation or procrastination?

We have a friend who has lost a loved one in a gun rampage in Minneapolis. Residents of our state were murdered in a gun rampage several years ago. But more Minnesotans die each year from accidental shootings. And more Minnesotans are victimized by gun owners who shouldn't have them but were able to buy them without being subjected to any scrutiny. This unnecessary violence must end.

Marijuana legalization will generate revenue and take money out o the hands of criminals.

A growing number of police departments state they do not have the funding to protect their K-9 officers with bullet/knife proof vests... It is vital for these working dogs to be offered the same protection as any officer of the law... There are non-profit organizations who are willing to do what the Police Departments do not... Considering purchasing and training a K-9 officer costs in the tens of thousands of dollars, a vest will cost each unit approximately 1500.00... This is a very little sum considering all of the lives saved by each and every K-9 officer...

I suffer from severe osteo arthritis and bulging discs in my lower spine.I have been prescribed Percocet for my pain. I worry about using a narcotic so do not take them as often as I need them. One of the side affects besides addiction is constipation, an ongoing problem for me. I had the opportunity to try a small amount of medical marijuana last year from someone with my same issues who was visiting from another state where it is legal. For the first time in 3 years the pain was tolerable but more importantly I was able to sleep through the night and wake up not feeling a drug hangover. If medical marijuana is legalized in Maryland I will no longer have to suffer with dibilitating pain and sleepless nights. Imagine what it could do for someone with worse issues than mine. Please Gov. O'Malley, rethink your concerns about this issue.
