Most lobbyists come to the Capitol with a briefcase, a position paper and a cellphone. At least one arrived with a pot plant, and for this she must answer.
Abigail Storm-Eggink, 58, doesn't deny she's the owner of the two 18-inch plants cops took from her in separate incidents recently. One was confiscated by the Albany Police Department on June 30 as she carried it down Pearl Street on her way to the Capitol, where the Kingston woman and her 71-year-old husband, Dan Eggink, have been coming regularly for 14 months -- including the past 10 weeks straight, five days a week -- to protest pot laws.
"The police (officer) told me not to walk the street with it, to put it in a plastic bag," she said.
A couple of days later, she brought a second plant covered by a bag, and got it past the Capitol's security screeners. It was on the same afternoon as a plant sale outside Empire State Plaza.
