[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mendelson, McDuffie and Robert White all need to go. Mendelson didn’t want to change the rules part way through and called the legislation a mess, which it is and which is why the emergency legislation is needed. Robert White thought that the ANC got to approve these licenses and so if they didn’t want it then they could just object and the Council should let them do their jobs, showing that he has no understanding of the process. McDuffie said that the Council’s hands are tied by Congress, except they’re not really and the Council could have passed this emergency legislation if they wanted to. McDuffie also said the Council should not usurp ABCA’s authority. Except ABCA applies the laws that the Council passes and so passing this emergency legislation wouldn’t have usurped any authority it would just have helped the Board to do there job.[/quote]

It’s a complete shitshow. It’s so insulting to have “leaders” who can’t even bother to understand the legislative process and their authority, or base their decisions in reality. This is an easy decision for the council and the ABCA board. It’s common sense that having a cannabis dispensary across the street from a school where hundreds of kids are 13 and under. There’s so much wrong in the city that this could’ve been an easy way for the council and the ABCA board to do right by the communities and the city’s families that they are supposed to serve.
