“It’s a full house here tonight,” Mayor Susan B. Marshall said, opening Tuckerton borough’s July 17 council meeting. The room was packed with both full-time and seasonal borough residents, hungry for announcements on last month’s unfinished cannabis conversation.

On June 20, Councilman Keith Vreeland suggested putting a referendum on the ballot in the general election to get residents’ opinions on a cannabis dispensary in town. On July 17, Vreeland moved a resolution with a clear ballot question.
