Vermont Public Radio reports that Governor Douglas has signed a new law that is "designed to crack down on people who give shelter to drug dealers." Under the law, a person who knowingly shelters a drug dealer may face up to two years jail time. "The same measure also reduces the amounts of cocaine and heroin that can be charged as possession with intent to distribute." Notably, "Douglas signed the measure yesterday in Rutland, where police say some local residents have been allowing out-of-town drug dealers to stay in their apartments."
