Did you guys see how that dickhead from Michigan Kenneth Gay of vericite ny one delayed recreational opening for us by suing NY state for denying his license?
I hope no one patronizes his business if he gets licenced here.
Yeah it’s a ball buster! It’s backed by big money though so don’t think this is just some random lawsuit. Lawyer from La and NY are involved
Also only stops licenses from being issued in that judge’s district for the moment
Definitely not just a random lawsuit. If it weren’t him, it would’ve been someone else. NY is a big market, and the states that legalized earlier have plenty of companies chomping at the bit to come and exploit the markets of the states that are doing it late. Social equity is a nice line to feed to the people, but in reality this is what’s going to come of things everywhere. Big corporations will come in, say it’s unfair that they’re being discriminated against, and win their cases every time because it’s just not within states’ power to do the things they’re trying to do. Then the politicians in charge will shrug, say they tried to help the needy, and sit back and collect their bribes. Er, lobbying perks. Call it what you will.

They are supposed to announce on the Nov. 21 who got the license.
It’s bs. They could just get in line for a license that isn’t social equity.
This person applies for a license and didn’t have any charges in NY. Has a felony in Michigan though.

If he were eligible for a social equity license in the first place, he wouldn’t have standing to sue. I notice he owns exactly 51% of the business, just enough to qualify him as the majority stakeholder and give him standing to sue as well. I wouldn’t be entirely surprised to find the other 49% is owned by a MSO somehow, since the likely result will be to open up NY State to them; they needed to find someone who would be eligible for social equity standing except for the state he’s from to file the lawsuit, since technically they wouldn’t have standing since they’re not harmed by the law. They wouldn’t be eligible regardless of the decision by liberal politicians around the nation to use “social equity” as an end around to racial discrimination by government, and the loopholes it created. Whether you approve of that decision or not, when they write laws that are designed to have loopholes those loopholes are open for everyone to exploit.

Obviously we’ll see what happens with the case, but to me this seems a little different from the Maine dormant commerce clause case… they aren’t saying you have to be a resident of NY, only that you had to have been adversely affected by NY’s cannabis laws. Maine seemed clear cut, in that, if I recall correctly, they required owners (or the majority shareholders anyway) be Maine residents… i.e. clear discrimination against out of state businesses. If this guy had a conviction in NY but lived in MI he’d be eligible.
But then I only read the local news coverage linked to above, maybe there’s more that makes it a little clearer cut.

Fuck this state. A mirage of fairness drowned by reality. I couldn’t even find the application and repeatedly Googled for it and checked the state website. Needed to have an in to know when applications finally came out. I found out two days before the window closed.
