In neighboring Cortlandt, during a special meeting on the 2022 budget that was not televised, the four-member Town Board automatically opted the town in after reaching a 2-2 vote, which meant the resolution to opt out failed.

Supervisor Linda Puglisi and Councilman Frank Farrell, the longest-serving board members at 34 and 26 years respectively, voted to opt-out, while supervisor-elect Dr. Richard Becker and Councilman James Creighton voted no.

A second vote to opt-out of lounges/consumption centers and limit cannabis retail dispensaries to the Route 6 corridor passed 3-1, with Puglisi siding with Becker and Creighton.

Farrell said he felt the state still hasn’t finalized all the guidelines and town officials had the option to opt-in at a later date.

“I think it was kind of acting blindly,” Farrell remarked. “And why Route 6? Why not other parts in town?”  MORE AT https://www.theexaminernews.com/peekskill-cortlandt-vote-to-allow-cannabis-dispensaries/
