Reno Newspaper Sues Over Public Marijuana Licenses


RENO, Nev. (AP) - The city of Sparks is not following Nevada public records law by not releasing the names of businesses licensed to grow and sell medical marijuana, a Reno newspaper claimed in a lawsuit filed this month.

The Reno Gazette-Journal filed a lawsuit Friday, arguing a compelling public interest in knowing what Sparks business owners are licensed in the medical marijuana industry. The publication is asking for copies of current business licenses for cultivation centers, dispensaries and production facilities in Sparks.

The newspaper “believes transparency in this matter is in the public’s interest,” said Kelly Ann Scott, the executive editor of RGJ Media. “And our legal challenge is based on the belief that transparency in government - especially with the government’s role in the newly formed medical marijuana industry - should prevail because it is the spirit of our state’s public record laws.”
