Mayor Richard LaBarbiera presided over his last meeting on December 20, and as he hands the gavel to Christopher DiPiazza, there is a lingering issue about a resolution approving a medical marijuana license during the final council meeting in 2021.
The council discussed rescinding the resolution from a year ago due to a possible nepotism issue.
In the final meeting of 2021, the council supported a medical marijuana license resolution, but the borough attorney, Brian Giblin, has since found that the licensee is a relative of members of both the zoning and planning boards, according to Giblin.
