Atlantic City wants exclusive deal on pot sales
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - It may be just a pipe dream, but Atlantic City's mayor is ready to delve into high finance.Now that New Jersey voters have approved recreational marijuana, Mayor Marty Small wants his city to be the only place in the state where it can be sold for three to five years.Small says the city should get first dibs on tax money that recreational marijuana would generate because it currently gets nothing from state-imposed parking, luxury, hotel and sports betting taxes.“This is the perfect opportunity to rectify that,” Small told The Associated Press Wednesday.
