Denton is no closer to implementing an ordinance to decriminalize marijuana, according to a new report from the city manager more than three months after voters overwhelmingly approved the plan.
The report from Sara Hensley, one of the requirements of the ordinance, largely repeats her position from November that the city has no authority to implement something that could conflict with state law.
More than 70% of Denton voters backed the idea in November, joining four other cities in Texas during that election. Voters in Austin approved a similar ordinance in May. Nick Stevens with Decriminalize Denton, which backed the ordinance, said he saw no good faith effort in the report that the city looked for any ways it might be able to implement the will of the voters.
Stevens said he's been told in meetings with city leaders over the issue, that the political environment is different in Denton than in other Texas cities where similar ordinances are being implemented.
