The nation’s first government owned and operated recreational marijuana store will open Saturday in North Bonneville. The North Bonneville Public Development Authority, which was set up by the City Council but is a separate legal entity from the municipal government, says revenues from the store are to be used to support public safety in North Bonneville. Mayor Don Stevens says they are trying to ensure marijuana sales are done to maximize benefits to the community while minimizing negative consequences. Development Authority Board President Tim Dudley thinks it can serve as a model for cities and counties in Washington and Oregon who want to take control of the marijuana debate, rather than sitting on the sidelines. The store is being called “The Cannabis Corner.”
