There's local drama afoot on Facebook and I'm just sitting back watching it like
So with our new Governor, Phil Murphy, now what Chris "Bridgegate" Christie is out of the picture, he's taking steps to legalize recreational marijuana. There's a local councilman who's opposing this and he's being rather vocal about it by sending this letter to about any news outlet that'll bother to publish it.
Thing is, though, Highland Park is a pretty liberal community, also well stocked with educated hippies. They aren't pleased at allll about ol' Councilman Fine's pearl clutching about the wacky weed. Almost worth going to a town meeting to watch the fireworks.
As far as my thoughts, I'd be fine with a recreational pot business bringing some revenue to the community. At the very least, I don't understand his objection to the distribution of medical marijuana. Though according to his bio, he also lobbied so that you have to be 21 to buy cigarettes or e-cigs. He keeps using the "I'm a father to teenagers" justification.
Sounds more like he doesn't trust his kids to make responsible decisions.
