Murphy to replace N.J. cannabis commission pick with Booker staffer after criticism from NAACP
Gov. Phil Murphy will replace one member of the panel to regulate the new cannabis industry with a staffer in U.S. Sen. Cory Booker’s office after the makeup of the commission came under fire from the NAACP, NJ Advance Media has learned.
Charles Barker, who works for Booker in the senator’s Newark office, will replace another Murphy appointee, William Wallace of the United Food and Commercial Workers, according to an administration source.
