The City Council of West Wendover, Nev., voted 3-2 on Tuesday to approve the sale of recreational marijuana, a move that the mayor believes will be an economic boon to the border town.
“I’m sure their sales are going to be high,” Mayor Daniel Corona told FOX 13 after the vote, adding: “Pun not intended.”
Corona has argued that recreational marijuana would benefit the community, bringing with it 38 jobs and more visitors.
"There will be a lot of people here. Again, we have to make sure that we stress to those who are coming from Utah and out of state to purchase marijuana, it is illegal to transport across state lines," he said.
