An ordinance, which sought to amend the borough’s existing medical marijuana cannabis ordinance to include recreation marijuana, did not receive a motion to move forward with a vote at the Wednesday Council meeting.
Mayor Richard LaBarbiera has been an outspoken advocate of bringing recreational marijuana to the borough, frequently posting on social media and discussing it at public meetings.
LaBarbiera said that despite a representative of Rise Dispensaries coming to discuss their experience and financial figures, it all "fell on deaf ears" during the meeting.
"It defies any logic," said LaBarbiera. "The economic windfall is clear and any objection or pushback against it is just illogical in my opinion."
