— Municipalities across Illinois weigh allowing recreational cannabis sales –
Greg Bishop (DIERSEN: This morning, at the DuPage County Board meeting, I urged
DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin and the 18 DuPage County Board Members
to vote ASAP to ban the sale of pot in the unincorporated parts of DuPage
County. I mentioned that at recent Wheaton City Council meetings, Tim Whelan,
Bob Cherry, and I urged Wheaton Mayor Phil Suess and the 6 Wheaton City Councilmen
to vote ASAP to ban the sale of pot in Wheaton.)
