The glaring absence of a member of a social justice organization on New Jersey’s newly established Cannabis Regulatory Commission is a troubling oversight that should be remedied, Senator Mike Testa said today.
The commission is charged with determining who can legally grow and sell marijuana in New Jersey.
“This is more than minor error, it is an embarrassing mistake by a Governor who doesn’t feel the need to follow his own rules,” said Testa (R-1). “It is difficult to respect Murphy’s legalization efforts when he can’t even honor the clear and unambiguous language within the law.”
This week, an attorney for the New Jersey chapter of the NAACP stated the makeup of the commission violates the law that created it.
