Colorado Springs Could Extend Medical Marijuana Business Ban

[Robert Celt]

Colorado Springs officials have suggested extending the city's ban on medical marijuana businesses for another year.

The Gazette reports that the City Council passed a six-month ban last November with the promise that it wouldn't be extended. A task force that has studied the issue made some recommendations Monday but told the council medical marijuana issues should be explored further.

Nonvoting task force member Bret Waters suggested the city extend the ban for 12 months. Waters is also the mayor's deputy chief of staff and an outspoken marijuana opponent.

Council President Merv Bennett reminded the council that they'd agreed not to extend the moratorium. Other officials suggested creating a new moratorium or limiting business licenses.

Bennett asked the task force to return with a recommendation for next steps by May.

Politicians and their operatives are rarely worth the time of day. Why is they constantly work against the citizens, perhaps they know that they can get away with it because so few people vote and many that do do so without knowledge of the subject at hand or are just hateful control freaks.

Crap, I have been in Floriduh waaayyyyyy to long.
