A battle is brewing in Denton over pot and an ordinance voters overwhelmingly approved in November that is still not being implemented.
A presentation will be presented before a city council work session Tuesday afternoon will lay out reasons the city says implementing the ordinance is challenging.
City Manager Sara Hensley’s presentation will detail how the city believes its authority in the matter is limited. True, says Armintor, but she argues, “This is a very limited law designed to conform to state law. And, the city of Austin where they have an almost identical law are not having any problems enforcing it.”
Armintor and Stevens question whether these incidents might have violated the ordinance because they involved non-violent offenses.
