Oakland council overrides mayor's veto of ordinance banning all marijuana businesses
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.
