Letter: Another dispensary ‘no’

To the Editor:

The most obvious, most sober course of action for the Village Board is to opt out of the state’s comically misguided and tragically misspelled “marihuana” law, and simultaneously schedule a referendum on the matter that, among other things, addresses zoning, etc.

That gives the Village more control of the process and gives the voters more say in the matter.
