📰 News we're reading

• New Jersey Senator Accused In Lawsuit Of Exploiting Social Equity Ownership Rules (nugmag.com) — A lawsuit alleges that a now-closed cannabis dispensary in Springfield was part of a broader scheme to misuse New Jersey's social equity licensing rules, with a political consultant listed as majority owner only on paper. The suit claims a national cannabis executive and a management firm actually ran the shop, which reportedly accumulated heavy debt before shutting down. The case could influence how ownership rules for dispensaries are enforced statewide.
