12 am. “I will open this evening by saying that I have had a few cocktails at The Alamo before coming over here, so let’s dispense with the prepared remarks and work off the cuff. First of all, this year I am proposing the re-criminalization of marijuana and taking the minimum wage back to $7.25 an hour…..
