Councils Talking Medical Marijuana Dispensary Moratorium

Both The Dalles and Hood River City Councils will be discussing medical marijuana dispensary moratoriums this evening.  Cities and counties were given until May 1 by the Oregon Legislature to adopt a one-year moratorium on the dispensaries legalized by the Legislature in 2013.  That means they would have to pass emergency ordinances.  A special ordinance is the subject of a hearing in The Dalles, while it is a discussion item in Hood River.  The meeting in The Dalles starts at 5:30 p.m. in City Hall, while the Hood River Council meets in its chambers at 6 p.m.
