CAVE JUNCTION — Cave Junction City Council voted 3-2 Monday to back out of its two-year-old lawsuit against the state that asked for a judgment on bans of medical marijuana dispensaries, and whether federal law preempted state law.
"We kind of got tired of waiting and spending money on it," said Councilor Dan Dalegowski, who made the motion to withdraw. "We wanted to move on. Our legal counsel said if we were going to keep going with the lawsuit, we couldn't move ahead and allow cannabis businesses, or try to get the 3 percent tax on recreational marijuana."
Dalegowski, Dan Bosch and John Gardiner voted to withdraw, while Councilor Margaret Miller and Mayor Carl Jacobson voted to stay the course.
