New Jersey won’t vote on legalizing recreational marijuana in 2018
A Thursday meeting between Gov. Phil Murphy, state Senate President Stephen Sweeney, and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin could have set up a vote by next week.
Instead, the three couldn’t reach a compromise on legislation, according to NJ.com, and now one of the most contentious issues of Murphy’s tenure will be pushed to next year.
The biggest thing keeping Murphy and state leaders apart on legislation, NJ.com reports, is a disagreement on how much to tax legal marijuana.
