The city of Aurora "manipulated the process" of selecting who would receive a license to sell recreational marijuana in the city, according to a lawsuit filed by a business owner who was denied a license.
In the suit, Metro Cannabis, which sought to open a recreational pot shop called Cannamart, claims that Aurora miscalculated who should receive a license by improperly rounding scores.

Metro Cannabis subsequently said in the lawsuit filed Nov. 25 that a hearing officer for the city who heard the company's appeal acknowledged "a clear mathematical error" but denied the license anyway.
