📰 News we're reading

• Medical Pot Code Eyed In Western Springs (patch.com) — Western Springs officials are considering zoning changes that would formally allow a medical marijuana business, focusing on a strip mall near Wolf Road and 55th Street or possibly broader commercial areas. While no dispensary is currently seeking to open, the village must update its code to comply with state rules, even as it maintains a ban on recreational marijuana sales unlike some neighboring communities.
