Booker Says He’s ‘Open To Compromises’

We may get the Banking reform after all which would be great news for PVSP

Such As Passing Marijuana Banking With Equity Provisions, Despite Filing ‘Gold Standard’ Legalization Bill

Published 3 hours ago on August 1, 2022

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) says that he’s “open to compromises” on marijuana reform, including the possibility that the Senate pass modest cannabis banking legislation with social equity components before advancing a wide-ranging legalization bill that he introduced last month.

In an interview published by NJ Spotlight News on Friday, the senator was asked whether he could see a path forward for more incremental marijuana policy reform, as he signaled he was considering at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing last week that he convened as chairman.

Booker has faced criticism from some advocates and stakeholders over his prior opposition to moving anything in the Senate before comprehensive legalization was enacted.

“Look, I’m a compromise guy. New Jersey sent me down here to get things done—not to make stands where I make good points but don’t pass bills,” the senator said.
