Legal Pot Close to Approval on Nevada Utah Border

Legal marijuana sales are close to winning approval in West Wendover on the Utah line, where the city council already has agreed to a medical marijuana dispensary. The West Wendover City Council voted 3-2 to prepare a draft ordinance allowing recreational sales. The first reading will be at the Dec. 4 council meeting and second reading on Dec. 18. Mayor Daniel Corona says the marijuana sales will create 38 local jobs. Earlier this year, Corona vetoed a council move to block recreational marijuana sales.
