CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— OUTSTANDING: Oak Brook looks to ban marijuana-related businesses – CHUCK

(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Budzikowski said Thursday that at the direction of the Village Board, an
amendment to the village’s zoning ordinance will be drafted and delivered to
the plan commission for review, likely in September. From there, the zoning
board will hold a public hearing to review the amendment and provide a
recommendation to the Village Board, which probably vote in October on the
amendment, Budzikowski said. The Oak Brook Village Board unanimously approved a
recommendation by Police Chief James Kruger in late May to oppose what at that
time was proposed legislation by the General Assembly to legalize recreational
marijuana. Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the legislation into law June 25. “Oak
Brook spends a lot of effort trying to be a family-friendly community, and I
don’t think a marijuana dispensary, or that type of business, fits with that,”
Village Board member John Baar said Thursday. Baar also said he believes not
allowing marijuana-related businesses in Oak Brook goes hand-in-hand with the
village not permitting video gaming. Village President Gopal Lalmalani agreed.
“We want to take the high road here, just like with video gaming,” Lalmalani
said Thursday. “The board doesn’t’ believe recreational marijuana is a good
thing. We can’t prohibit use that the state allows, but we do have the ability
to opt out of having marijuana businesses in Oak Brook.”)
