Marijuana Ballot Measures Ahead In Several Chicago Suburbs

Legalized marijuana sales measures in several Chicago suburbs fared well during yesterday’s election. Sixty-three percent of the voters in northwest suburban Elk Grove Village supported the amendment. It appears that voters in Mount Prospect, Batavia, and Park Ridge came up with a similar result. West suburban Glen Ellyn seemed to be a little more divided, but the measure is leaning toward approval. On another note, suburban Northlake voted to ban gas stations from selling alcohol.
