Does Spencer want to opt in or out of participating in New Yorkâs new marijuana law?Â
New York has legalized various ways that will ultimately bring in sales tax revenue for municipalities, although no one has any idea how much might be brought to Spencerâs coffers. The board engaged in a philosophical discussion on what would be best for the town.
Town Councilman Ray Bunce is a police officer, and his view is now that it is legal, Spencer should get the advantage.Â
Town Councilman Aaron Decker expressed a more cautious viewpoint: wait and see how it works out before opting in.Â
