Hartford Selectboard won’t put retail marijuana before voters at Town Meeting
Modified: 1/20/2021 10:48:02 PM
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION As towns across Vermont consider whether to allow dispensaries following a new state law legalizing the sale of recreational cannabis, Selectboard members have decided Hartford isn’t ready to answer that question.
“I’m extremely apprehensive about putting something on the ballot where we don’t have as much information as we should have,” board member Joe Major said at a special virtual meeting held Tuesday night to discuss the upcoming March Town Meeting warning.
Board members spent an hour debating whether to include a question on the ballot about marijuana dispensaries. The question would allow voters to decide if Hartford should “permit and regulate” establishments that sell marijuana.
