Marijuana Licensing Concerns Crop Up For State Reps

Here’s a story that appeared today in The Fall River Reporter, shared here by FRCmedianews:

Due to Mayor Correia’s arrest concerning alleged bribery involving marijuana businesses in the city, Fall River’s state delegation is requesting that the Cannabis Control Commission put a temporary halt to licenses.

In the letter signed by local State Representatives Carole Fiola, Paul Schmid and Alan Silvia, it states that:

“Given these facts, we respectfully request that the approval of any pending retail or medical marijuana applications in the City of Fall River be temporarily delayed and a moratorium on the issuance of such licenses be enacted until such time that the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission has an opportunity to fully digest, investigate and make a determination as to what impact the alleged actions identified within the indictment had on the issuance of letters of non opposition and community host agreement negotiations.”
