Suzanne's Law
After the NYS Senate passed the "Assault and Abduction Free School Zone Bill" for the third time, many people assumed that the bill had become law. Of course, the bill is still stalled in the Assembly where Sheldon Silver refuses to allow it to be brought up for a vote. This is a very frustrating system that does not take into consideration the best interest of the citizens. Whether the bill has merit seems not at issue and opposition appears to be strickly political in nature. So far, the 25,000 petition signatures have not been enough to force Silver's hand. Maybe 50,000 will be needed.
