Vallone Bill Could Land Daredevil Jumpers in Jail

Vallone is wasting our tax dollars by peddling a proposed law to prevent sportsman like Mr. Corliss from practicing BASE jumping. NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN LANDED ON during a BASE jump in New York City. Actually, in my 15 years as a jumper, I can't recall any pedestrians being landed on. Aren't there more important issues to tackle in NYC?
