Oneonta won't opt out on marijuana

The city of Oneonta has no plans to opt out of recreational sales of marijuana, according to local politicians.
In New York’s legal marijuana bill, which passed April 30, municipalities are able to decide to opt out on marijuana dispensaries by Dec. 31.

Herzig said he is in favor of the city taking no action and allowing itself to be a candidate for dispensary licensees to operate in the city.
