I have a tendency to agree with you. It was Ritter that insisted that counties and cities were to be able to ban dispensories within them-as he threatened he would veto the bill if it didn't include that. Both sides of the issue are threatening suits as soon as he signs it--and if he doesn't veto it--and just lets it go without his signature--then he is taking the political back door out.

Even though he isn't running for re-election--he may be looking down the road for another elected office--so he doesn't sign--then he can make a political claim that he had nothing to do with 1284--LOL.

Typical political manuever--but there will be many in this state that won't forget that Ritter had a lot to do with this bill. Mainly the law suits coming out of it--that will unfortunately cost the taxpayers of this state millions to defend against.

We'll see--but it would be appropriate since he is letting this one ride--that the deadline for dispensory owners be extended also.
