Steve Katz

Hypocrisy never fails with these politicians! Steve Katz, an Assemblyman representing Westchester County in New York, was pulled over at a stoplight in Albany and was caught with marijuana in his car. He voted against legalizing weed in New York in 2011 and also put out a statement a few days ago promoting the “struggle against illegal drug culture and the abuse of narcotics” because he’s on the Assembly’s Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Committee! He probably shouldn’t be in charge of making decisions regarding marijuana…He even got burned by Brooklyn State Senator Marty Golden, who said “Be true to yourself. If you like marijuana and smoke marijuana, at least vote for it.” Check out a video of Steve Katz after the jump.
