Ocean City, which is an alcohol-free town, is LIVID with Murphy. Officials there are so angry that they’re gonna write a letter and leave a strongly-worded, one-star Google review, according to a writeup from Donald Wittkowski at OCNJDaily.com:
Ocean City elected officials Thursday night angrily denounced New Jersey’s legalization of recreational marijuana, calling some parts of the new pot laws nothing short of “insanity.”
“I can’t tell you how upset I am,” Mayor Jay Gillian said during comments at a City Council Zoom meeting.
Clearly livid, Gillian launched a broad attack against pot’s legalization and was joined by the seven-member governing body.
From the start, Ocean City’s Council has objected to marijuana’s legalization, passing an ordinance in 2019 to ban the sale of pot in a town that bills itself as “America’s Greatest Family Resort.”
“I’m 1,000 percent zero tolerance on this,” City Council President Bob Barr said Thursday of his opposition to legal pot smoking in public.
