New York State legalizes recreational marijuana
CBSN
The Empire State is going green. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday signed legislation legalizing recreational marijuana for people 21 and older.
The new law also automatically expunges convictions for marijuana possession that would now be legal, and directs 40% of pot tax revenue to communities of color that disproportionately faced weed charges. "This is a historic day," Cuomo said in a statement after the signing.
Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
