Judge tosses 'single-subject' portion of medical marijuana ballot complaint
LINCOLN, Neb. (WOWT) - Two of the four counts in a Lancaster County lawsuit challenging the two medical marijuana petitions have been allowed to proceed.
Judge Susan Strong issued her order on Friday afternoon, confirming the latest medical marijuana petitions had cleared the “single-subject” hurdle that was the undoing of a similar push in 2020.
Additionally, the allegations that the petition didn’t contain enough information about one of its sponsors, State Sen. Anna Wishart of Lincoln, were tossed “with prejudice.”
The lawsuit had argued that Wishart failed to provide her city, state, and ZIP code in the form, but the judge noted that the other two sponsors had provided all of that information; that all three provided email addresses and phone numbers; and that Wishart had signed the form, which was notarized.
