The Borough Council voted, 4-1, on Wednesday to override Mayor Linda Schwager's veto of their June 9 ordinance banning all six classes of marijuana business.
Schwager, who said the veto was the first in her three terms as mayor, said she had sought to delay the ban until an ad hoc committee could more fully assess and advise the council of the tax benefits to be gained from allowing one or more of the business classes to operate in the borough.
Councilman Pat Pignatelli defended the ban, noting the "cannabis regulatory commission in Trenton has not adopted any rules or regulations regarding cannabis in New Jersey."
"Therefore we really should wait until we see what rules we have to play by before we adopt any part of the cannabis regulations."
