Newton to repay $2M to cannabis firms
A court ruling has ordered the city of Newton to repay funds spent on a community dog named Officer Leo and nearly $2.1 million collected from licensed marijuana dispensaries, citing the expenditures as unrelated to the businesses' operations. The judge concluded that Newton failed to prove these costs, including public safety education and infrastructure projects, were directly caused by the marijuana companies. This decision follows legal challenges from the dispensaries, which argued that impact fees collected by the city were unlawful and not reasonably related to the businesses' actual impact.
