LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - The deadline for the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission to start granting cultivator licenses is on Oct. 1. That is impossible now after Gov. Jim Pillen asked Commissioners Bruce Bailey and Kim Lowe to resign from the Liquor Control and Medical Cannabis Commissions.
On Tuesday, the commission held its final September meeting in the smallest hearing room available. Despite the setting, the public made their voices heard.
Commenters urged commissioners to follow the law, maintain integrity, and resist pressure from the governor or attorney general.
“The integrity of a lawful election is being stolen by self-righteous politicians who beat their chests, trumpeting election integrity, while quietly using you as a commission to undermine it,” Dominic Gillen said.
