No jail for Tina Peters, but a $1,500 fine. Her attorney is arguing that’s too high. She could have gotten 6 months in jail. #copolitics

When @senatorhick and his aides stepped into the hall a massive cloud of weed smoke followed them. He was red-faced and joked that any of us who reported the waft of haze would be cut off. @BenteBirkeland maybe @joehanel @OldNewsman, among others, might recall.
