The Mayor of Kewanee, Gary Moore joined Wake Up Tri-Counties on Tuesday morning to follow up on Monday's Kewanee City Council Meeting. In our conversation, the Mayor addresses the contentious topic of the approval of a permit for the new marijuana dispensary coming to Kewanee at the former location of the Broken Chimney restaurant. Last night, members of the public spoke about concerns they had about the dispensary being just over 250 feet away from Wethersfield School. Other members of the community spoke in favor of the dispensary, including former Kewanee Police Chief Nick Welgat. We asked the Mayor about the divisive 3 to 2 vote of the council in favor of the dispensary and the concerns raised by citizens at Monday's Kewanee City Council Meeting.
