Only a few more than 80 licensed stores have opened since the law was signed three years ago, while there are thousands of illegal cannabis shops operating.
NEW YORK -- The painfully slow process to open legal cannabis shops in New York continues and Gov. Kathy Hochul has ordered a review of the licensing of the businesses. Hochul, like many who submitted license applications, is frustrated with the rollout and tapped a state official to straighten things out. 'Governor Hochul has asked that we take a look at all aspects of the operation around the licensing,' said Jeannette Moy, commissioner of the Office of General Services.
Rudick has helped clients submit about 100 license applications, buts says some others have had an unfair edge. 'If you had relationships with Office of Cannabis Management officials, then some people were able to get information as it tended towards their business plan a little bit more readily than others, which created some unfairness for those who are really trying to go through the process the right way,' said Rudick.
