Do you know where your marijuana is?
It’s certainly not for sale at your local dispensary. As to when that dispensary will eventually open, Gov. Phil Murphy’s people are moving at a pace that suggests they’re smoking their own stash.
The first step in that process was appointing a commission. That’s always a bad idea. The one and only reason for a politician to appoint a commission is to get someone else to do his dirty work for him.
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.
Governor Murphy today announced three additional appointments to the Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC), completing the five-member commission after previously announcing the appointments of Commission Chair Dianna Houenou and Krista Nash. The Governor will appoint Maria Del Cid and William Wallace to the CRC. The Governor will also appoint Sam Delgado as a member of the Commission, upon the recommendation of Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin.
