jwhittaker@post-journal.com State Assemblyman Andrew Goodell, R-Jamestown, didn’t come out against legal marijuana sales, but is voicing his concerns over aspects of the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act. The legislation (A.1248) passed the Assembly late Tuesday in a 94-56 vote. Goodell and Assemblyman Joe Giglio, R-Gowanda, voted against the Assembly legislation while Sen. George Borrello, R-Sunset Bay, voted against the legislation in the state Senate. It was signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo early Wednesday. Goodell said he agreed with Assembly members who decried unequal enforcement of the state’s marijuana possession and sales laws over the past several decades, but said the way to deal with those issues is to focus on making enforcement equal. Goodell specifically took issue with two of the bill’s purposes to decrease illegal sales, the legislation’s inclusion of delivery services and its stated aim to protect youth.
